"Couldn't Take 5 Days Of Rain": BJP MP On UP Expressway Inaugurated By PM

Rayvina Bose, 22nd July,2022: The pitiful condition of a brand-new expressway in Uttar Pradesh, inaugurated last week by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave ammunition to the opposition to attack the BJP-led central government on Thursday. BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who has been openly critical of his own party, too joined the ranks of critics and questioned the quality of the construction work.
"If the expressway built at a cost of ₹ 15,000 crore cannot withstand even five days of rain, then serious questions rise on its quality," he said in a Hindi tweet.
Parts of the 296-km long Bundelkhand Expressway caved in at Chhiriya Salempur near Jalaun district and deep potholes were seen on it after heavy rain on Thursday.
Varun Gandhi also sought action against the officials and the companies concerned. "The head of the project, the engineer concerned and responsible companies should be summoned and action be taken against them," he said.
