BJP Slams AAP for Decade of Road Neglect Ahead of Delhi Elections

The BJP has accused the AAP government of neglecting Delhi's roads for the past decade and only addressing the issue shortly before the upcoming assembly election. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva criticized key AAP figures, citing corruption and negligence. AAP has begun active inspections to repair roads before Diwali.

The BJP has leveled serious accusations against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, claiming they have neglected Delhi's roads for ten years. The claims come just weeks before the assembly election. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that key AAP figures were responsible for the current condition of the city's roads.

Sachdeva specifically named Arvind Kejriwal, Satyendra Jain, Manish Sisodia, and Atishi as being primarily accountable. He stated that the Public Works Department (PWD), which oversees road maintenance, has suffered under their corrupt leadership. The allegations include the failure to maintain roads and address severe waterlogging issues due to uncleaned sewers and drains.

Following these accusations, AAP leaders, led by Atishi, began inspections to identify and fix road damages across the city. This move is viewed as an attempt to gain favor with voters before the election, with promises of creating a pothole-free Delhi in time for Diwali. However, Sachdeva insists that last-minute repairs won't absolve the AAP of years of mismanagement.
