Mayawati targets UP govt over potholed roads in state

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati took potshots at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttar Pradesh over the potholed roads even as deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya announced a new gaddha-mukt sadak campaign 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 quality of construction of roads has vastly improved in the state.

“It is difficult to decipher if there are potholes on roads or roads on potholes,” Mayawati tweeted on Wednesday, adding that like the law-and-order machinery, the road network too is in a mess in the state.
