text: It is not true that roads have been laid unnecessarily. While it is right that many main roads were in good condition when the constituency came to my hands, they were all main roads and that is not the case in the inner areas. I have supervised work on roads in the interior areas of my constituency where there was a great need for such work. I would actually say that unnecessary road work and the re-laying of existing roads has been done in other constituencies. I would not like to take names though. And then, there were no footpaths in my constituency, I have done all that work as well. Footpath work has been done in BTM and Koramangala. I consider asphalting roads unnecessarily a waste of money. I realize that after every rainy season they might require work again. Excess funds make people re-tar roads that don’t require it, but I haven’t done that at all.
