Enraged by the bad condition of a road in Maharashtra`s Thane district, local BJP MP and Union Minister Kapil Patil on Tuesday said he would himself torch the toll booth if the state government resumed collecting the road tax without repairing the "pothole-riddled" section.
Speaking at a function in Bhiwandi where he was felicitated for being appointed Union minister of state for Panchayati Raj, Patil said internal roads in the township, as well as highways passing by, are in a pathetic condition, especially the roads going towards Mumbai, Nashik, Thane, Chinchoti and Kalyan.
