Now a war of words has started in Bengal over the bridge collapse in Gujarat. TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh has said that 'When a bridge collapsed in Kolkata during the 2016 assembly elections, PM Modi while campaigning for his party had cited corruption as the main reason. Now, what does he have to say about the Gujarat incident as well.'
At the same time, TMC's Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev has said that the BJP's much-awaited 'Gujarat model' has been exposed due to the collapse of the bridge in Morbi. He said that in 2016, PM Modi came to West Bengal and criticized the state government for the collapse of the bridge. PM has a habit of politicizing every issue if it happens in an opposition-ruled state. But a sad incident has happened in Gujarat. This state is ruled by BJP. So what will they say now? This incident has exposed the Gujarat model.
