Taking a pot shot at the incumbent leadership, Singh said that it happened for the first time that Ramnagar constituency was totally ignored rather eclipsed in allocation of roads in Phase-XI of PMGSY with not a single new road having been assigned to the said constituency despite demands of connectivity from several far flung and remote area habitations. He expressed grave concern over the non commencement of construction, upgradation work over most of the PMGSY schemes got sanctioned by him under Phase-X during 2013-14.
