Netizens bring back PM Modi’s old speech from 2016 speaking of the crashing of Vivekananda Road Flyover in Bengal that took 27 lives
Twitter began to trend with Prime Minister Modi’s old speech in Bengal where he politicized the crashing of the Vivekananda Road Flyover in Bengal that took 27 lives in 2016, criticizing Mamata Banerjee govt for the collapse of the flyover calling it an act of God or an act of fraud. While calling it an act of fraud, he declared that God allowed it to happen during elections to save the people from voting for TMC again to protect Bengal from breaking up like the bridge. During that election, Mamata Banerjee won by a huge margin despite the heavy politicization.
Watch the video below: Senior lawyer and politician Prashant Bhushan took to Twitter along with other netizens to question the Indian Prime Minister and asked, “Morbi bridge collapse is act of God, or an act of fraud, Modiji?”

Rahul Gandhi did not politicize the tragedy as PM Modi had done and said to the Press “I don’t want to politicize this incident because “people have died here. It is disrespectful for them to politicize this incident.” Netizens are pointing out the difference between the two leaders with their priorities. A difference between PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi after about 200 people died in Gujrat and what the Prime Minister said earlier.

The Morbi Bridge in Gujarat collapsed on October 30, leaving at least 140 dead. Several top leaders including President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and party leader Rahul Gandhi, along with other politicians, expressed grief on learning about the unfortunate incident.
Amit Karn writes, “Even after the information about the bridge collapsed, the Health Minister of Gujarat continued to celebrate his birthday.
How can someone be so insensitive? Do they not care about the death of 200 people?

Congress leaders attacked the BJP over the bridge collapse. Rajya Sabha member Randeep Surjewala termed it a “man-made tragedy” and held the state government directly responsible for it.
Senior party leader Digvijaya Singh asked if the incident was an “act of God or an act of fraud” while alluding to a phrase that Prime Minister Modi had reportedly used at a rally slamming the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal after the Vivekananda Road flyover collapsed in Kolkata on March 31, 2016, killing 27 people.

All these are because the quality of construction is being compromised for “MONEY” gains as Modi ji explained in the Kolkata bridge collapse.

Gurdeep Singh Sappal said, “Not just extremely sad on the bridge collapse in #Morbi but also very angry. Because it was a tragedy in waiting. For some time now, bridge collapse, roads caving in, and dams breaching is happening quite often. It’s corruption, nothing else.Just see some news from the past few months:

Bridges made over 150 years ago in India are stronger. The bridges and constructions collapsing like paper toys nowadays clearly reveal the corruption of politicians along with the construction agencies’ hand-in-glove with each other. It is not an act of God but an act of fraud.
