The project, led by MLA Abhay Patil, has faced numerous allegations of illegal land acquisition and incomplete work. Topannavar voiced his concerns on social media, stating, Surprised Jagadish Shettar inspected Smart Belagavi projects but skipped the road widening project between Fort Road and Shivaji Garden where land was illegally acquired and work is incomplete.
He also tagged BJP state president BY Vijayendra in his post. Initially praised for its potential to reduce traffic congestion and improve infrastructure, the road widening project quickly became controversial due to claims of unauthorized land acquisition and slow progress.
