Thiruvananthapuram The roads in Kerala are badly designed, which is why there are numerous vehicular accidents and resultant deaths in the State, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday.
Mr. Gandhi said that while he was not blaming the LDF or Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for the bad designs of the roads, the State government needs to make some rules on the design. “I have a complaint. Of course, not with you (people),” is how he raised the issue of bad road designs.
“I am not blaming the LDF or the Chief Minister, because some of these roads have been built by them and others by the UDF. But, when I walk on the roads, I find one half slopes one way and the other another way. Sometimes they are sharply curved,” Mr. Gandhi said and added that he was not saying it in a critical way, but from his experience walking on the roads and watching the ambulances.
