OPPOSITION LABELS KEJRIWAL'S ROAD INSPECTION AS POLITICAL GIMMICK

Alongside Delhi Chief Minister, Atishi Singh, Kejriwal has inspected several road sections and asked Singh to instruct the Public Works Department (PWD) to make them pothole-free by Diwali. However, the opposition has labeled this as a political gimmick, claiming that despite being in power for almost a decade, AAP has consistently ignored road infrastructure issues in Delhi. They assert that Kejriwal's current road surveys are a mere tactic to mislead Delhiites ahead of the upcoming elections.

Earlier this week, Atishi announced that the government would launch a comprehensive road repair and strengthening initiative across the city to ensure a pothole-free Delhi by Diwali. She mentioned that all Delhi ministers, along with local MLAs and officials, will begin inspecting the roads, expressing hope that by the end of October, the city will have pothole-free roads for all residents.
