BJP on Monday accused the Aam Aadmi Party government of neglecting the city’s roads for the past decade and only waking up to address the issue just 10 weeks before the upcoming assembly election.
In a statement, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that the Public Works Department (PWD), responsible for maintaining Delhi’s roads, has been under the control of the “most corrupt faces” of the Kejriwal government.
Responding to the BJP’s allegations, AAP said in a statement that “Despite the unprecedented rainfall demanding urgent road repairs, the BJP deliberately obstructed progress, driven by its divisive and negative politics.”
With Arvind Kejriwal’s release, Delhi’s pending works will now be completed on a war footing, leaving no room for delays, it added.
“The truth is that four people are primarily responsible for the poor condition of Delhi’s roads: Arvind Kejriwal, Satyendra Jain, Manish Sisodia, and Atishi,” Sachdeva alleged.
Earlier on September 27, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, after inspecting the roads, handed over a letter to Chief Minister Atishi in the Delhi assembly urging her to start the repair work of Delhi roads on a war footing.
