I Will Abolish Toll Charges If I Become UP Chief Minister – Chandrashekhar Azad

Azad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad has made an interesting political promise, stating that his first decision as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister would be to abolish toll charges on highways. He argued that toll fees place an additional financial burden on ordinary citizens, particularly people from economically weaker sections who depend on highways for their daily commute and work. According to Azad, roads should remain accessible to everyone without adding to the financial pressure on common people.

His statement has brought the issue of highway toll collection and its impact on commuters into the political spotlight. However, Azad has not yet explained how the government would meet the expenses of highway maintenance and infrastructure development if toll collection were discontinued. His proposal has therefore raised questions about how such a policy would be implemented and funded. The promise is likely to draw attention as discussions around public transport costs and road infrastructure continue.
