SP workers cycle on Purvanchal Expressway, 'inaugurate' it before PM Modi

The 341km Purvanchal Expressway connects eastern and western Uttar Pradesh.

Workers of the Samajwadi Party cycled on the Purvanchal Expressway and claimed to inaugurate it in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, before PM Narendra Modi's arrival on Tuesday, November 16. While sharing a photo on Twitter, the party wrote: “SP's work, public's name”. PM Narendra Modi is slated to formally inaugurate the flyover on Tuesday. " "! pic.twitter.com/HdUmhTNZzT

The Samajwadi Party has been blaming the BJP government for taking credit for SP’s work. It also has been at loggerheads with the BJP over the Purvanchal Expressway. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said that the expressway is an achievement of his government.
