Pune, Jan 29 (ANI): Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday rubbished allegations of bias in determining which cities would form part of the NDA regime’s “smart city” project. He said the selections were done on merit and without political interference. Naidu stated, “I have only honoured the merit, this is my only role. Nothing has been decided in Delhi, we have only issued guidelines and set parameters and the selection of the city is based on merit, nothing else.”
