62 Lakhs Road Tax and Posh Car Drives on Pot Hole Filled Roads - BJP Spoils India

SIBY JEYYA
India's road infrastructure has long been a subject of concern, with potholes, mud-filled roads, and poorly maintained highways creating significant challenges for citizens. Despite the collection of substantial road taxes, which are meant to be used for the construction and maintenance of roadways, many roads across the country remain in a dilapidated condition. Potholes are common even on major highways and urban roads, causing not only severe inconvenience to daily commuters but also contributing to numerous accidents, injuries, and fatalities.

The failure to provide well-maintained roads is often attributed to several factors. Corruption in road construction projects leads to substandard materials and workmanship. Additionally, poor planning and lack of accountability at various levels of government further exacerbate the issue. Many roads, particularly in rural and less developed areas, suffer from neglect, with local authorities unable or unwilling to invest in proper road upkeep.
Moreover, during the monsoon season, heavy rains make these problems worse, with poorly constructed roads eroding or getting flooded. The government's inability to address these issues effectively points to a larger systemic failure. Citizens frequently question why their road taxes do not translate into better infrastructure, demanding greater transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.
