Gujarat bridge collapse: TMC slams BJP, calls it ‘double engine failure’

The Trinamool Congress on Monday criticised the BJP, the ruling party in Gujarat, over the bridge collapse in the western state and dubbed the incident as an example of ‘double engine failure’.

Mamata Banerjee’s party also wondered whether the saffron camp would call it an ‘act of god or an act of fraud’.

At least four persons were injured after a portion of an old bridge on the Bhogavo River in Gujarat’s Surendranagar district collapsed on Sunday evening, an official said.

‘Yesterday, a bridge collapsed in Gujarat. This grim incident is a reminder of the Morbi tragedy last year that has resulted in the loss of lives. The entire country is watching the Gujarat model that the BJP talks about. Will they call it an act of god or an act of fraud,’ Senior West Bengal Minister Shashi Panja said.
