New Delhi: The Congress has slammed the Bhartiya Janta Party over the Morbi bridge accident that occurred in Gujarat. The Congress has asked three questions to the Gujarat government regarding the accident. They have also demanded the resignation of Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has also been sought.

Earlier Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge had also expressed grief over the accident and he had demanded an inquiry into the matter.

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.

Mallikarjun Kharge also demanded an inquiry

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also expressed grief over the accident and appealed to the party workers in Gujarat to extend all possible help in the rescue work. He tweeted, “Deeply saddened by the tragedy caused by the collapse of the suspension bridge in Morbi, Gujarat. I appeal to the workers to extend all possible help in the rescue work and help the injured. My condolences and prayers are with the bereaved families.”

Rahul Gandhi also appealed to the workers for help

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also expressed grief over the collapse of the bridge. He said that the news is very sad. I extend my deepest condolences to all the bereaved families in this difficult time. At the same time, I appeal to the Congress workers to provide all possible assistance to the injured and help in the search of the missing.
