Bridge Collapse Conspiracy: Bihar Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi Raises Alarm

Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi alleged a possible conspiracy behind recent bridge collapses in Bihar, aiming to defame the BJP-led state government. He highlighted the use of sub-standard materials by contractors and urged authorities to investigate both the poor construction quality and potential conspiracy.

Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has raised the alarm over the recent spate of bridge collapses in Bihar, suggesting that a 'conspiracy' might be at play to malign the BJP-led state government.

Within just over a week, five bridges, both big and small, have collapsed in various districts including Araria, Siwan, East Champaran, Kishanganj, and Madhubani. Manjhi questioned the timing of these incidents, pointing out that they started occurring right after the Lok Sabha polls and were absent in the preceding month.

'Authorities concerned must look into this aspect,' urged Manjhi, who also heads the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM). He emphasized the need for an investigation into the sub-standard materials used by contractors and urged state authorities to probe a potential conspiracy angle.
