The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is visiting Mysuru on June 21 for Yoga Day, should also come to Bengaluru and see the potholes in the state capital. AAP Bengaluru city president Mohan Dasari said that party members would distribute ‘pothole postcards’ to people.

“We are organising a postcard movement demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi to have a look at road potholes of Bengaluru. On this Friday, June 17, the party activists will talk to vehicle commuters and give them postcards with ‘Prime Minister, please come to see the beauty of Bengaluru road potholes’ written on them. Then, vehicle commuters will send them to the prime minister,” he said.

“Over the last five years, more than Rs 20,000 crore has been released from the coffers of the state government for road development in Bengaluru. Thanks to the rampant corruption of the BJP, that money has reached the pockets of representatives resulting in the potholes across the city. Road accidents have been regularly taking place but the government does not even have the courtesy to give proper compensation for the family of the deceased,” Dasari added.
