All the soldiers of Bihar’s Nitish Kumar government, who were besieging the central government on the gruesome train accident in Balasore, Orissa, suddenly disappeared. Chief Minister’s Dream Project dashed Due to this, the opposition has become dominant in Bihar. To heat the politics on the bridge, the government itself has given masala to the opposition. The biggest spice is that work was being done according to the eighth and final deadline of 31 December 2023 and when the bridge collapsed Chief Minister ordered an inquirywhile the Deputy Chief Minister said that the government knew it would fall.
BJP got relief from bridge accident
The BJP was upset because of the train accident. Before this bridge collapse, BJP leaders were avoiding most of the questions. Were saying that those doing politics on Balasore train accident should continue, we are expressing condolences to those who died. But, as soon as the news of Nitish Kumar’s dream project being ruined in such a way that the BJP leaders became vocal. BJP leaders called it a bridge of corruption of the Nitish government. Leader of the Opposition in the Vidhansabha, from Vijay Kumar Sinha to the Union Minister came forward and started giving statements on this.
Government statement gave more spice
The Sultanganj-Aguwani Ghat bridge of Bhagalpur, being built at a cost of 1710 crores, is called Nitish Kumar’s dream project. Since laying its foundation stone in 2014, Nitish has counted the benefits of this bridge many times till now. He has been mentioning this in his travels as well. Aiming to make the distance of all district headquarters from Patna four to six hours, Nitish has been telling the usefulness of this bridge. This is the reason that as soon as the news of the collapse of the bridge came on Sunday, the Chief Minister ordered an inquiry into it. The news of this order of investigation must have reached the common man through the media that Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav gave this information in a press conference that IIT Roorkee is investigating and the government was already apprehensive that this bridge might collapse. Two types of statements from the government itself gave spice to the BJP.
BJP will make corruption an issue
Immediately after the bridge collapse, the BJP made its stand clear. BJP leaders called it a proof of Nitish Kumar’s corruption. BJP leaders clearly said that Nitish government is kind to certain agencies in many ways. The term is extended. The tender amount is increased. After so much kindness, when the bridge collapses, it is spent on its investigation. Investigation takes time, but big fish are released despite such irregularities. Describing it as a bridge of corruption, the BJP has made it clear that now it will continue to surround the Grand Alliance government in the same name.
