-Promises are meant to be broken, the adage goes. And Kanpurites, it seems, are having a fair share of promises made and broken by politicians and bureaucrats alike.
-Chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, while addressing entrepreneurs of UP origin from across the globe at the "UP-Calling 2004" on February 20, had announced to launch a magnetic monorail between Lucknow and Kanpur. For this purpose, the UP Development Council (UPDC) was in touch with a consortium of Japanese companies, he had added. That was the first and the last mention of the project.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-07-22/lucknow/27161962_1_monorail-kanpurites-anil-sharma | work=The Times Of India | title=Monorail & other projects: Kanpurites taken for a ride | date=2004-07-22}}</ref>
