“Delhi Airport (T1) roof collapse, Jabalpur airport roof collapse, Abysmal condition of Ayodhya’s new roads, Ram Mandir leakage, Cracks in Mumbai Trans Harbour Link road, 13 new bridges falling down in Bihar in 2023 & 2024, Pragati Maidan Tunnel submerging and Morbi bridge collapse tragedy in Gujarat are some stark instances which exposes the tall claims by Modi ji and BJP of creating “World Class Infrastructure!” he added.
Kharge charged, “On March 10th, when Modi ji inaugurated the Delhi Airport T1, he called himself “Doosri mitti ka insaan…”, All this false bravado and rhetoric was only reserved for quickly indulging in ribbon-cutting ceremonies before Elections!” The victims “bore the brunt of a corrupt, inept and selfish government, he said.
