In BJP-ruled Gujarat, leaders from the ruling party itself were seen protesting against the state of infrastructure. Valsad district panchayat president and Kaprada taluka panchayat president, both BJP leaders, staged a unique protest by sitting inside potholes on National Highway No 848, expressing their frustration over the poor condition of roads.
The district collector and the local MP have been ineffective against the National Highways Authority, alleged the BJP leaders, expressing helplessness. The protest has also exposed the failure of the collector’s claim made 10 days prior that all potholes would be filled soon.
The roads on all three highways passing through Valsad district are reportedly in such bad condition that people on social media are jokingly asking, “Where is the road amid the potholes?” Netizens have mocked BJP MPs, MLAs, and leaders for the deteriorating infrastructure.
District panchayat president Manharbhai Patel visited Kaprada on Tuesday, and encountered big potholes on the way. On reaching Kaprada, Taluka panchayat president Hiraben Mahala, along with BJP workers, expressed their anger over the poor road conditions.
