Delhi BJP Spokesperson. Praveen Shankar Kapoor has written to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, urging her to conduct a surprise inspection at the earliest of the main roads in the Chandni Chowk, Ballimaran, Matia Mahal and Sadar Bazar Assembly constituencies. He has requested that the Chief Minister personally assess the deteriorating condition of these roads and the growing encroachments, and take immediate corrective action.
The Delhi BJP Spokesperson stated that all four Assembly constituencies— Chandni Chowk, Ballimaran, Matia Mahal and Sadar Bazar— are represented by Aam Aadmi Party MLAs, and that the majority of councillors in these areas also belong to the AAP. He alleged that due to their political patronage, encroachments on roads and footpaths have continued to increase, while these MLAs and councillors have shown little concern for the maintenance and upkeep of the main roads.
He further alleged that these AAP MLAs and councillors focus on the maintenance and cleanliness of lanes and localities predominantly inhabited by a particular community, while neglecting the development and maintenance of the main roads and neighbourhoods with a Hindu-majority population.
He reiterated that due to the negligence and alleged connivance of AAP MLAs, major roads including S.P. Mukherjee Marg, Khari Baoli, Chawri Bazar, Sitaram Bazar, Shraddhanand Marg, Qutub Road, Sadar Bazar and Pahari Dhiraj Marg have become severely damaged, while encroachments have crossed all acceptable limits.
