However, the AAP leaders have dismissed this as an attempt to “evade responsibility and digress attention from the terrible tragedy”.

“Many BJP leaders are joining AAP in Gujarat,” AAP MLA Naresh Balyan said, explaining the context behind his tweet.

Meanwhile, the Congress attacked Prime Minister Modi and the BJP-led Gujarat government over the collapse of the suspension bridge. Slamming the central government, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh questioned if it was an “act of God or an act of fraud”.
