New Delhi: BJP MP Gautam Gambhir took a dig at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as the Aam Aadmi Party chief launched a programme to get rid of potholes from Delhi’s roads.
“Delhi has few roads under Delhi government (PWD), but millions of vehicles run on them every day. To erase any inconvenience to the public on the roads due to rain, this campaign is being carried out. For the first time roads are being inspected on such a large scale,” Mr Kejriwal tweeted.
“The MLAs will take photos of potholes and upload their locations and details on an app,” Mr Kejriwal said.
Gambhir poked at the CM and tweeted: “Please go slow. There are many potholes. We know the realities of Delhi. But to keep yourself happy it’s a good thought,” the BJP MP from East Delhi, which see some of the worst traffic jams in the city, tweeted in Hindi.
The move to repair roads comes as Delhi heads for election next year. Mr Kejriwal’s party has been highlighting the work done by his government, especially in improving state-run schools and healthcare.
