Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia inspected roads in east Delhi. Sisodia, in a post on X, alleged that the BJP sent him and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to jail in fake cases to stall the work being done by the AAP government for the people of Delhi. Because of this, the condition of roads has worsened, he said. Ministers Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Imran Hussain and Mukesh Ahlawat also inspected roads.

Rai inspected roads in northeast Delhi, Gahlot in west and southwest Delhi, Hussain in New Delhi and central Delhi and Ahlawat in north and northwest Delhi. After the inspection, Gahlot posted on X that this morning, along with senior officials of PWD, he inspected the main roads of Najafgarh, Bahadurgarh Road and Dhasan Road. Due to the prolonged monsoon, the condition of roads is not good and people are facing problems due to potholes at many places, he said. Delhi CM Atishi Hails Return of AAP’s ‘Ram & Laxman’ Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Assembly, Blames BJP for Kejriwal’s Resignation (Watch Video).
