Pawan Khera asked these questions on behalf of Congress

Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera released a video today asking three questions to the Gujarat government regarding the Morbi Bridge accident. He asked if this bridge had a fitness certificate? Did he have an audit report? Was its load capacity tested?

Pawan Khera said that the responsibility of maintenance and upkeep of this bridge which is more than 100 years old in Gujarat was given to a company which manufactures light bulb, mosquito killing racket, and wall clock. Kheda said that there is an election in Gujarat but BJP is trying to inaugurate every project in a hurry. In such a situation, BJP is responsible for the Morbi accident and we demand the resignation of the Chief Minister.
