Chen Shikai criticizes the progress of Lu Xiuyan MRT Blue Line: Even 1 centimeter cannot be built after 8 years in power

Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yen has repeatedly complained about the Central Card MRT Blue Line pre-construction. Transport Minister Chen Shikai tonight held a campaign party for Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun of the Democratic Progressive Party, pointing out that Lu Hsiu-yen has been in power for 8 years and "cannot even build 1 centimeter of the blue line." Currently, the blue line The line progress is only moving trees on the construction site, and they keep scolding the central government for not giving money and asking for 4 billion. The central government can only provide the budget after approving Lu Xiuyan's MRT project. However, Lu Xiuyan failed the test paper and could not pass the test, but she blamed the central government. It is all the fault of the central government.

Chen Shikai said that as a Taichung native, he carefully planned Taichung's transportation construction and hoped that the MRT would be built faster and that the central government could build the high-speed rail, Taiwan Railway, and expressways for Taichung. However, MRT is a matter that needs to be handled by the local government, and the central government is responsible for approving the plan. This is equivalent to changing the test papers and then allocating funds to build them together.

With 55 days left before the election, Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen set up a campaign headquarters today, gathering the "three sons" of the Kuomintang. He Xinchun went straight to Jiang's natal district, Fengyuan, to build momentum with Assemblyman Tanya Shen and the candidates in the evening, and held the Bungo Tanya Shen and Mountain City campaign party. Presidential Secretary-General Pan Meng-an, Transport Minister Chen Shikai and campaign chairman Tsai Chi-chang will all be present to support.

Chen Shikai said that he often heard that Zhongjie wanted to develop all seven lines, so the Taichung City MRT construction plan must be well written, passed, and passed. He followed up with the Railway Bureau every day to track the progress, but the Taichung City test paper failed and could not pass. Students must work hard. This is a question of ability.

Chen Shikai pointed out that Lu Xiuyan has been in power for 8 years, but she has not been able to build even 1 centimeter, and she has been scolding me for not giving money.

Chen Shikai emphasized that he used to work at Fengyuan Party Headquarters and serve on Tsai Chi-chang's campaign team. Fengyuan was his second home and the starting point for participating in the campaign. Knowing that Fengyuan needs transportation construction most, he explained that the central government's transportation construction in Fengyuan Mountain City includes the Taiwan Railway's increase in frequency from Fengyuan to Taipei from 18 to 32 flights. In 2023, National Highway No. 4 will be opened to Fengyuan and connected to Tanzi Line 74. There is also Dongfeng Expressway, which costs 15 billion, and the central government will provide tens of billions. The central government is fully committed to the construction of Fengyuan.

Chen Shikai said that he is more anxious than anyone else about Taichung's transportation construction. For the sake of Taichung, the person who must cooperate with the central government and the Ministry of Transportation to build Taichung well is He Xinchun.
