KOLKATA: Days after CPM leader Bikash Bhattacharya said that the credit for ‘Maa’ Flyover here should not be taken by any other party as it was conceived during the Left Front’s tenure, Bengal minister Firhad Hakim on Thursday underlined that it was the Mamata Banerjee government that undertook the construction of the overpass, pictures of which erroneously appeared in a UP government advertisement.
Bhattacharya, the former mayor of Kolkata, had, amid the row over the advertisement, said that “neither the BJP government at the Centre nor the TMC government in the state should seek recognition” for the flyover as it was the brainchild of erstwhile Left Front government.
