An overnight makeover of the government hospital in Gujarat’s Morbi before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to meet the survivors of the suspension bridge collapse that left 141 people dead has come under fire from the Opposition. The Prime Minister will visit the site of the incident on Tuesday afternoon. Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticised the state government for engaging in an all-night overhaul of the hospital in times of tragedy.
Congress shared pictures of the hospital on Twitter and wrote in Hindi, “Event of tragedy. Tomorrow, PM Modi will visit the civil hospital in Morbi. Before that, the work of dyeing and painting is going on there. Glazed tiles are being installed. There should be no weak points in PM Modi’s image, all arrangements are being made for it. They are not ashamed! So many people died and they are engaged in eventing.”
The AAP tweeted, “Overnight paint is being done in Morbi Civil Hospital so that the poor building does not get exposed in PM Modi’s photoshoot tomorrow. 141 people are dead, hundreds of people are missing, no action has been taken against the real culprits, but BJP workers have been covered up by doing photoshoots.”
AAP MLA and spokesperson Naresh Balyan wrote, “There are 177 bodies lying inside, the work of painting the hospital from outside is going on, because Mahamanav ji will go there tomorrow to do stunts with cameras. There is a limit to shamelessness.”
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Neetu Dabas retweeted the Congress’ tweet and wrote, “Congress will not be able to do anything in life, except to come down to the lows and beat drums of the end of Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.”
Meanwhile, some of the workers engaged in the cleaning job told India Today that they were brought from Rajkot for overhaul ahead of the PM’s visit. New water coolers and hospital beds were also installed.
A suspension bridge collapsed near Machchhu river in Gujarat’s Morbi, causing the death of 141 people and injuring several others.
