UP Minister's blunt reply on Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway defects
When questioned about defects in the ₹4,700-crore Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway ahead of its launch, Uttar Pradesh Minister of State Dinesh Pratap Singh told journalists to 'build the roads yourself.' He dismissed the concerns by stating, 'This is nothing new... regardless of the road's quality, rain leads to minor damage that gets fixed once the monsoon ends.' The expressway is scheduled for inauguration on July 13.
