Overnight Hospital Clean-Up in Gujarat Prior to Prime Minister's Visit, Following Bridge Disaster
In the aftermath of the tragic cable suspension bridge collapse over the Machchhu river in Morbi, Gujarat, which claimed 134 lives, including 47 children, and left over 100 injured, the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is scheduled to visit the region today.
Ahead of the visit, an all-night renovation took place at the Morbi civil healthcare facility. The renovation included newly painted walls and ceilings, new water coolers, and quickly changed bedsheets. Multiple individuals were seen cleaning up the premises late at night.
However, the opposition parties, including the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), have criticized the BJP for focusing on "event management" to ensure a "photoshoot" for the Prime Minister. The opposition parties argue that the renovation was unnecessary, especially in the wake of the country's worst bridge disaster in years.
The Aam Aadmi Party, in particular, has been vocal about the issue, tweeting photos of the old water coolers and damaged walls and ceilings amidst the clean-up. The Congress party also expressed their dismay at the focus on event management instead of addressing the tragedy, in a tweet written in Hindi.
The opposition parties' criticism has led to a halt in some of the improvements being made to the facility. NDTV discovered that some renovation work had been stopped following the outcry by the opposition parties over the improving exercise.
It's important to note that, based on the current available information, there is no documented controversy about last-minute hospital renovations in Morbi associated with Narendra Modi's visit after the bridge collapse. The search results do not mention the Morbi hospital, bridge collapse, hospital renovations, or Narendra Modi's visit in connection with any controversy.
As the Aam Aadmi Party pushes to emerge as a major player in the Gujarat polls this year, the controversy over the hospital renovations serves as a significant point of contention in the political landscape of the region.
