Goa, Telangana, Tamil Nadu Have Better Roads Than Bangalore
According to The New Express Report, Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) former president J Crasta stated his views on Bangalore roads assertively and sharply. He questioned if there was any road in Bangalore that is good. He further added that except for a few rods, none of the stretches in Bangalore is even motorable due to potholes. Crasta even alleged that 40 per cent of the cost used to build or repair roads was taken as bribes. And only the remaining 60 per cent of the cost was used to complete the project. He even stated that even Goa, Telangana, Kerala and Tamil Nadu have better roads than Karanataka.
