Opposition Congress termed the minister’s comment as insensitive. Patil was questioning people’s view of roads, but he will understand what people can do after elections, said state Congress general secretary Sachin Sawant. “Government is not expected to run away by raising doubts about accident deaths. We condemn the minister for his insensitive comment,” Sawant tweeted on Sunday. Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam claimed on Sunday that there were 20,000 potholes on Mumbai roads, and not 300 as stated by the BMC before the Bombay HC. He said he was going to “file an FIR” against CM Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray (whose party rules the BMC), the municipal commissioner and the mayor for the bad roads, he said.
