Parts of the 296-km long Bundelkhand Expressway caved in near Jalaun district and deep potholes were seen on it after heavy rain on Thursday.
The pitiful condition of a brand-new expressway in Uttar Pradesh, inaugurated last week by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave ammunition to the opposition to attack the BJP-led central government on Thursday. BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who has been openly critical of his own party, too joined the ranks of critics and questioned the quality of the construction work. 15 हजार करोड़ की लागत से बना एक्सप्रेसवे अगर बरसात के 5 दिन भी ना झेल सके तो उसकी गुणवत्ता पर गंभीर प्रश्न खड़े होते हैं।इस प्रोजेक्ट के मुखिया, सम्बंधित इंजीनियर और जिम्मेदार कंपनियों को तत्काल तलब कर उनपर कड़ी कार्यवाही सुनिश्चित करनी होगी।#BundelkhandExpresswaypic.twitter.com/krD6G07XPo
"If the expressway built at a cost of Rs 15,000 crore cannot withstand even five days of rain, then serious questions rise on its quality," he said in a Hindi tweet.
Parts of the 296-km long Bundelkhand Expressway caved in at Chhiriya Salempur near Jalaun district and deep potholes were seen on it after heavy rain on Thursday.
Varun Gandhi also sought action against the officials and the companies concerned. "The head of the project, the engineer concerned and responsible companies should be summoned and action be taken against them," he said.
