The Delhi BJP on Wednesday challenged the AAP government to prove Arvind Kejriwal's claim his government built 23 flyovers in the city in the past four-and-a-half years, and alleged the chief minister was trying to mislead people.

"Since 2015, when AAP came to power, Chief Minister Kejriwal has neither sanctioned any new flyover nor started work on them, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said.

"This fact is based on information received through RTI reply," he said, citing an RTI reply received by party spokesperson Harish Khurana.

Inaugurating the Rao Tula Ram (RTR) Flyover on Tuesday, Kejriwal had said, "In 15 years, the Sheila Dikshit government built 70 flyovers. In the last four-and-a-half years, our government has built 23 flyovers."
