The Trinamool Congress and the BJP have once again locked horns, this time over the inauguration of a four-lane road overbridge in Burdwan district.
Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal was to inaugurate the overbridge on September 30 but it was unveiled by TMC leader and state panchayat minister Subrata Mukherjee on Tuesday, a few days before its completion.
A group of local party leaders visited the site on Tuesday where Mukherjee cut a blue ribbon to inaugurate the structure. Speaking to News18, he said: “The project was the brainchild of Mamata Banerjee when she was the Union railway minister. It was her dream for the people of Burdwan. Where is the problem in inaugurating it? I don’t see anything wrong in this as the state government also contributed 50 per cent towards the total project cost.”
He added that he was unaware about the official inauguration ceremony by Goyal on September 30.
The Burdwan Bridge is similar to the Howrah Bridge where the entire structure is rested on only on two pillars. It is nearly eight feet above the railway tracks. The approval for the bridge was granted in 1993 but due to some issues, the project was put on hold. However, in 2011, it got approval for further construction.
