Gautam Gambhir Jabs Arvind Kejriwal Over Potholes in Delhi Roads With 'Babuji Dheere Chalna' Tweet
The political altercation on Twitter erupted shortly after Kejriwal posted a tweet, saying that all MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would be inspecting a stretch of 25-50 km of roads maintained by the PWD. If potholes are found, or the section of the road is dilapidated, then the legislators would upload the location, along with images and other details on an app.

"Please go slow. There are many potholes. We know the realities of Delhi. But to keep yourself happy it's a good thought," the cricketer-turned-politician said.
The road-repairing drive of the Kejriwal government comes days ahead of the assembly elections in the state. The AAP, which swept to power with a landslide mandate in 2015, is seeking re-election to the state assembly. The party is primarily banking on its work in the healthcare and education sector.
