BJP Leader Harish Khurana Criticizes Delhi CM Atishi’s Road Inspections

On the day that Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders conducted inspections of road conditions in Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused them of staging a drama. BJP leader Harish Khurana said, “AAP leaders, be it Arvind Kejriwal or Atishi, either think that Delhiites are fools or they think that they don’t know what is happening. This is an image makeover effort to get rid of the corruption charges. But in the process, they are exposing themselves.”

He further added, “Arvind Kejriwal is saying that he is ordering Atishi to make the roads pothole-free and repair the roads, but he forgets to mention that when he was in jail, all work in Delhi had stopped… The people of Delhi understand everything. Delhi is completely ruined; development work in Delhi has been stalled for the last 9.5 years… Certainly, the people of Delhi have made up their minds that the next government that will be formed will be of the Bharatiya Janata Party.”

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, along with other MLAs and members of the Aam Aadmi Party, including former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Delhi Minister Gopal Rai, inspected the condition of roads in the national capital on Monday. She inspected the condition of roads in the Okhla area of the national capital. This is part of the Delhi government’s road assessment and repair plan.

Delhi Chief Minister had announced that various Aam Aadmi Party ministers have been assigned responsibility for different road areas in the city. Atishi will oversee South and South East Delhi; Saurabh Bharadwaj is in charge of East Delhi; Gopal Rai handles North East Delhi; Imran Hussain manages Central and New Delhi; Kailash Gehlot is responsible for South West Delhi and Outer Delhi; and Mukesh Shehrawat oversees North West Delhi.
