BJP govt in Gujarat collects ₹8,702 crore in tolls over 5 years, yet roads remain in dismal condition. Public demands urgent repairs and halt on extra tolls.
Gujarat: Despite collecting ₹8,702 crore in toll taxes over the past five years, the BJP government in Gujarat has failed to ensure proper road infrastructure for citizens. Villages, cities, and highways across the state are reportedly in a dismal condition, leaving commuters frustrated.
Critics point out that in some areas, toll collections have exceeded the total cost of constructing and maintaining the roads, yet citizens are still being charged for travel. The public and opposition leaders have demanded that tolls be stopped immediately in regions where the collected funds have already surpassed construction expenses.
The situation has sparked widespread concern, as poor road conditions not only inconvenience commuters but also pose safety risks and hamper economic activities across the state.

Local residents and political analysts have called on the state government to prioritize road repairs, ensure transparency in toll collection, and take immediate corrective measures to improve the condition of roads in both urban and rural areas.
The controversy adds to growing criticism of the state administration for inefficient utilization of public funds and raises questions about accountability in infrastructure projects funded by toll revenue.
