Patna:
130 people died and several others were injured when the British-era suspension bridge collapsed in Gujarat’s Morbi on Sunday evening. After the incident, people across the country are seeing sadness and anger. RJD leader Shivanand Tiwari has attacked BJP by writing a Facebook post. He has written that if Sardar Patel was alive today, by holding the ear of the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he would have removed him from the throne by now. I express my heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased. I request the Chief Minister of Gujarat to hold his ear and apologize to the people for this heart-breaking incident.

The RJD leader wrote that this is a human tragedy. I agree with this that it should not be made an agenda of politics. But the BJP never shied away from doing politics on such incidents. During the Bengal election campaign in 2016, a span of a poppy flyover in Kolkata collapsed during a casting. The Prime Minister himself had tried very ruthlessly to explain that tragic incident.
Nine people, including four employees of Orewa Group, which manages the Morbi Tarang Bridge, were arrested on Monday. Also, a case has been registered against the companies which were entrusted with the responsibility of its maintenance and operation. This cable bridge located on the Machhu river was broken on Sunday and the death toll in this accident rose to 134 on Monday.
