Within a week of Prime Minister Narendra Modi opening the 296-kilometer-long Bundelkhand highway in Uttar Pradesh, a piece of the road had developed significant potholes due to severe rainfall. According to local media, two automobiles and a motorcycle were involved in an accident on the highway in the Chhiriya region near Salempur. The photographs of the flooded road went viral after BJP MP Varun Gandhi and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav shared them on Twitter.
“If the highway constructed at a cost of 15,000 crore cannot resist even five days of rain, severe doubts about its quality arise,” Varun Gandhi wrote. “The project manager, the engineer in question, and the relevant firms should be summoned and action taken against them,” he continued.
