The Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Shri Vijender Gupta, has reminded PWD Minister Atishi of Chief Minister Kejriwal's promise to the people of Delhi that he would make Delhi's roads like those in London, Paris, and Singapore. Gupta said that far from making roads like those in London, the roads in Delhi are now in such a bad shape that motorists cannot even drive on them properly. During the monsoon rains, 80 percent of Delhi's roads have deteriorated, leading to frequent accidents.

The Leader of the Opposition expressed his disappointment, stating that it is unfortunate that neither the Delhi Government nor the Municipal Corporation has repaired the roads or constructed any new ones. This indicates that Chief Minister Kejriwal neither cares about the development of Delhi nor is he concerned about the troubles being faced by its residents.

Citing a report from last year, Gupta noted that the report highlighted the poor condition of 80 percent of Delhi's roads. He mentioned that 1,400 kilometers of roads fall under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Department, yet the PWD is neither repairing them nor constructing new roads. The Leader of the Opposition has demanded that PWD Minister Atishi urgently repair these roads.

Gupta added that the poor condition of the roads not only contributes to the spread of pollution due to dust but also causes severe traffic jams, leading to the wastage of crores of rupees in fuel. Moreover, if an ambulance gets stuck in such a jam, it would take divine intervention to save the patient's life.

Gupta recalled that last year, PWD Minister Atishi stated that a plan involving crores of rupees had been made for the maintenance of Delhi's 1,440 kilometers of roads. However, the Leader of the Opposition noted that, like many other government plans, this one seems to have been wrapped in the files.
