Morbi bridge collapse: PM Modi inspects mishap site; speaks to survivors, officials

PM Narendra Modi reached the bridge site and was briefed about the mishap. 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the Morbi bridge collapse was a result of massive corruption and prayed for those who lost their lives in the incident.

"The Morbi bridge collapse was a result of massive corruption and I pray for the victims. Why was a watch-making company, which had no experience of bridge construction, allowed to do so?" he said during a press conference.

The Aam Aadmi Party too, posted a video of the hospital being painted.

Morbi Civil Hospital में रातों रात रंग-पुताई की जा रही है ताकि कल PM Modi के Photoshoot में घटिया बिल्डिंग की पोल ना खुल जाए

141 लोग मर चुके हैं, सैकड़ों लोग लापता हैं, असली दोषियों पर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई लेकिन भाजपाइयों को फोटोशूट करके लीपापोती की पड़ी है..#BJPCheatsGujarat pic.twitter.com/KVDLdblD6C

“Morbi civil hospital is being painted overnight so that the poor condition of the building does not get exposed during PM Modi's photoshoot,” AAP claimed. 

The Congress tweeted pictures showing repair work going on inside the Morbi hospital and launched a tirade against the BJP.

Slamming the BJP for this “eventbaazi”, the Congress tweeted “Trasadi ka event (event of tragedy).”

त्रासदी का इवेंट

कल PM मोदी मोरबी के सिविल अस्पताल जाएंगे। उससे पहले वहां रंगाई-पुताई का काम चल रहा है। चमचमाती टाइल्स लगाई जा रही हैं।

PM मोदी की तस्वीर में कोई कमी न रहे, इसका सारा प्रबंध हो रहा है।
