TMC criticises Modi over Gujarat bridge collapse

Kolkata:  Criticising the BJP government in Gujarat for the collapse of the Morbi bridge, TMC on Tuesday wondered whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi will condemn that state as he did during a similar incident in Bengal in 2016.
The TMC was evidently referring to the collapse of a portion of the under-construction Vivekananda Road flyover in central Kolkata during the assembly poll in Bengal in March 2016. It led to the death of 27 people and left many others injured.
“When a flyover had collapsed in Kolkata during the 2016 assembly polls, the prime minister while campaigning for his party had blamed corruption as the main reason for it. Now let him say the same thing about the incident in Gujarat,” TMC state general secretary Kunal Ghosh said.
TMC also shared a video clip of Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticising the TMC government for the 2016 flyover collapse.

TMC Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev said the bridge collapse at Morbi has exposed BJP’s much-hyped ‘Gujarat Model’.
