"The local residents decided to forcibly inaugurate the elevated road from Mukarba Chowk to Rohini Court and Saraswati Vihar to Mangolpuri Industrial area since the AAP leaders had no time for its inaugural although it was completed many days ago," former Congress MLA Deveder Yadav said.
Yadav, who led the locals and other Congressmen, said the foundation stone of the elevated road was laid down by the then Chief Minister Sheila Dixit in 2012 and that AAP was trying to claim it to be their government's achievement.
Reacting to the forced "inaugural" of the elevated road, Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai accused Congress of indulging in petty issues since it had nothing else to protest against the government.
"They have no other issue so they are doing this. The work on the elevated road had been fastest during the AAP government since its foundation stone was laid," Rai added.
