"Every building is under threat of collapsing": Congress leader KC Venugopal on NDA's infrastructure failures

New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): Congress MP KC Venugopal launched a scathing attack on the NDA government for multiple infrastructure failures and said that under the BJP rule, "every building is under threat of collapsing."
Speaking during the debate on the motion of thanks to President Droupadi Murmu's address, the Congress leader said, "Delhi Airport roof collapsed, Jabalpur Airport roof collapsed, Rajkot Airport canopy collapsed, conditions of roads in Ayodhya is bad, leakage in Ram Mandir, cracks in Mumbai Harbour link road, three new bridges collapsed in Bihar, Pragati Maidan tunnel submerged, all these constructions during the NDA period have collapsed. Under their rule, every building is under the threat of collapsing."
The Congress leader also challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inquire about the alleged electoral bonds scam and said to put up an inquiry of the parliamentary committee to investigate the same.
"I am challenging the Prime Minister to inquire about the electoral bonds. One of the biggest scams the country has ever seen is the electoral bond scam. If you are not scared of anything...then why don't you put up an inquiry? Put up an inquiry of parliamentary committee. You're not ready."
Meanwhile, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi pitched for the installation of the Ambedkar statue in front of Parliament on Tuesday.
"They are saying again and again that they made the new Parliament. Would it not have been appropriate to install an idol of Bhimrao Ambedkar in front of the Parliament?" he asked.
The canopy collapse incident took place at Terminal 1 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on June 28 morning, killing one person and injuring eight others.
A day later, the canopy collapsed at the passenger pickup and drop area of Rajkot Airport in Gujarat on June 29.
As per the Ministry of Civil Aviation sources, the canopy broke during the maintenance work to push out water accumulated in the canopy. No one was injured in the incident, sources said, adding that a detailed report into the matter has been sought. The repair work is underway. (ANI)
