Mittal’s post resonated with many, triggering a wave of reactions from Mumbai residents and others who echoed his sentiments.
An X user, responding to Mittal's post wrote, "Rajasthan, Gujarat, Telangana, AP, Tamil Nadu, MP - all have impressive roads. You can noticeably tell the difference without a board also that you have crossed MH border."
Another user added, "I travel to Ahmedabad frequently & Its a nightmare tp commute in city & to reach Ahmedabad (Kalupur) station ..specially during evenings .Takes a hr for 15 kmz ..All those envying Gujarat infra over MH or any other state are duffers. .its equally good or bad."
"Based on the people’s sentiment on social media, it seems that Mumbai has gone backward in last few years. Even, @vivekagnihotri also posted a video last weeks, highlighting the poor quality of roads in Maharashtra. What went wrong over the past few years? Could it be due to frequent political shifts and politicians changing parties like hell? #Maharashtra is India business hub and a major tourist place, it should be advancing, not falling behind," added an X user.
