BJP MP from East Delhi constituency and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir on Saturday ‘rewrote’ the lyrics of the 1954 classic ‘Babuji dheere chalna’ song and mixed it with Ghalib’s couplet, “Humko Maloom hain jannat ki haqiqat lekin, Dil ke khush rakhne ko ‘Ghalib’ yeh khayal accha hain” to take a musical swipe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. AAP president launched a programme to eliminate potholes from Delhi’s roads.

Kejriwal took to Twitter to say, “The Public Works Department, which is under Delhi government, is responsible for upkeep of a few roads that see the maximum traffic. Rains affect the roads, and people should not face any such inconvenience, this campaign is being launched. This is for the first time that roads are being inspected on such a large scale.”

दिल्ली सरकार (PWD) के आधीन दिल्ली की कुछ ही सड़कें आती है, लेकिन उनपर रोज लाखों वाहन चलते हैं

बारिश से सड़कों पर जो असर होता है उससे किसी को असुविधा न हो इसलिए ये अभियान चलाया जा रहा है

इतने बड़े स्तर पर पहली बार सड़कों का निरीक्षण हो रहा है। https://t.co/8ADkYjpTTB

Gambhir tweeted (in Hindi), “Babuji go slow. There are many potholes in this path. We are aware of Delhi’s reality. But it’s a good thought to keep you happy Arvind Kajriwal.”

बाबूजी’ धीरे चलना, बड़े गड्ढे हैं इस राह में !
हम को मालूम है “दिल्ली” की हक़ीक़त,
लेकिन दिल को ख़ुश रखने को @ArvindKejriwal ये ख़याल अच्छा है pic.twitter.com/0DUjhRYdZX

Kejriwal said, “50 MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party will inspect 20-25 km of roads maintained by the PWD. Engineers will accompany them. The MLAs will take photos of potholes and upload their locations and details on an app.”

दिल्ली सरकार के आधीन PWD सड़कों को गड्ढा मुक्त बनाने का अभियान आज से शुरू

50 विधायक आज 25-25 KM सड़क का निरिक्षण करेंगे, जिसमें हर विधायक के साथ एक इंजीनियर भी होगा

ऐप के जरिए गड्ढे या अन्य खराबी की फोटो और लोकेशन रिकॉर्ड होगी और हर खराबी को तुरंत ठीक कर दिया जाएगा।

As the Delhi government is taking steps to improve Delhi’s infrastructure and maintenance and highlighting AAP government’s work, this move comes ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections next year.

In 2015, AAP came up with exceptional results in Assembly elections winning 67 of the 70 seats but the Lok Sabha elections 2019, the BJP clean sweeped Delhi and won all the seven Lok Sabha seats.
