Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Tuesday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government’s “pothole-free Delhi” initiative, saying it is more about gaining media attention and providing temporary fixes than finding a long-lasting solution.

“A major reason behind the poor condition of Delhi roads is leakage from thousands of broken sewer and water pipelines, which cannot be fixed just by patchwork. However, the government seems more focused on temporary fixes ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections,” he added.

The government’s criticism came a day after Chief Minister Atishi, along with her Cabinet colleagues, launched an inspection to identify stretches requiring repairs.

The government has decided to repair the damaged roads being managed by the Public Works Department (PWD) before Deepavali under the initiative.
