Mayawati attacks UP govt over poor condition of roads

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati took potshots at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government on the issue of potholed roads, even as state’s deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya announced a new ‘gaddha mukt sadak’ (pothole-free roads) campaign across UP from Wednesday.

‘Gaddha mukt sadak abhiyaan’ (pothole-free roads) was one of the key promises of the BJP government.

“We have decided to roll out a campaign to repair the roads across the state,” Maurya said, adding that the construction quality of the roads has vastly improved in the state.

Mayawati in a tweet on Wednesday said that like the law-and-order machinery, the road network too is in a mess in the state.
