“We have decided to roll out a campaign to repair the roads across the state,” Maurya said adding that quality of construction of roads has vastly improved in the state.
“It is difficult to decipher if there are potholes on roads or roads on potholes,” Mayawati tweeted on Wednesday, adding that like the law-and-order machinery, the road network too is in a mess in the state.
“Several accidents have happened due to these potholed roads. Newspaper reports are full of reports of people dying in accidents caused while driving on these potholed roads. This is most sad and proof of government’s failure,” Mayawati tweeted.
