Regretting the denial of permission by the Ghazipur administration to use the expressway on the pretext of its inauguration, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav said his party will offer flowers in a symbolic gesture to mark the inauguration today.
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday charged the BJP government with compromising on the quality of Purvanchal Expressway to cut down the project cost and inaugurate it before the Assembly polls to claim credit.
Regretting the denial of permission by the Ghazipur administration to use the expressway on the pretext of its inauguration, the SP chief said his party will offer flowers in a symbolic gesture to mark the inauguration today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the 340-km-long expressway connecting Ghazipur with Lucknow in Sultanpur today.
"In a bid to make it cheap, there has been a compromise on its quality. To take credit ahead of the polls, the BJP is going to inaugurate the half-baked ("aadha-adhura") Purvanchal Expressway. There has been a compromise with the quality with which it should have been built," the SP chief told reporters.
