CM’S CLAIMS ON CITY potholes bogus, says Mumbai Cong president

The Congress on Wednesday alleged that Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ assurances regarding repairing potholes in Mumbai are “bogus” and that the Sena-ruled BMC lacks adequate material to fill craters.

Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam said the metropolis needs 2500 tonnes of cold mix, a bitumen-based material used to repair potholes.

He claimed that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has only 40 tonnes of cold mix available with it.

“So pothole are here to stay. CM @Dev_Fadnavis promise on the floor of Assembly is bogus. Mumbaikars have no option but to face lots of bumpy drives in coming weeks,” the former MP said in a tweet.
