Congress slams BJP-ruled Chandigarh MC over bad roads

The Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee today staged a protest in Dadu Majra Colony against the neglect of roads and the worsening civic infrastructure in the city.

Addressing the gathering, committee president HS Lucky came down heavily on the BJP for turning the Municipal Corporation into a hub of mismanagement and financial chaos. He said during the Congress rule, the MC maintained a fixed deposit of over Rs 500 crore, ensuring stability and adequate funds for development. Under the BJP control, the MC is now reeling under a financial crisis, unable even to carry out basic civic works.

Lucky pointed out that nine of the last 10 Mayors belonged to the BJP, and it was their series of faulty decisions, misplaced priorities, and financial blunders that brought the corporation to its knees. “The BJP must answer why the MC, once financially sound under Congress, is now neck-deep in liabilities,” he said.
