Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set for a two-day visit to his Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency and will be inaugrating several infrastructure projects including the Ramnagar-Samne Ghat bridge and the Balua Ghat bridge.PM Modi will be dedicating the two prominent overbridges over Ganga to the people of Varanasi, which was also the dream project of Samajwadi Party Foundation stone of Balua Ghat bridge that would connect Chandauli and Samne Ghat bridge was laid by then Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav in 2005. Both the projects were to be completed by Uttar Pradesh Bridge Corporation.After work on both the bridges for two years, it lost pace following Mayawati forming the government. The work on two bridges didn't move much between 2007 and 2012. However, when Akhilesh Yadav came to power, the work on the two bridges was again expedited. Akhilesh had even reviewed its progress had fixed October, 2015 as the deadline for the completion of Balua Ghat bridge.However the bridge could not be completed by 2017 and Yogi government then expedited the leftover work and got it completed in six months.Reacting to the development, SP City president Rajkumar Jaiswal said that it has become a habit of BJP leaders to take credit for the work which they neither started nor they contributed much. Who doesn't know Lucknow Metro was already inaugurated by then Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, but even then Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi went ahead again inagurated the metro, Jaiswal further said.Remember what former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav said when Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh flagged off the first commerical Metro run in Lucknow on September 5. "Engine toh pehle hi chal dia tha, dibbey to peechey aanee hi thee (The engine had already started running, bogies had to follow)," he had tweeted.Even the Prime Minister had begun inaugurating projects that were conceptualised by Congress government after he came to power in 2014 as he got it completed, Jaiswal said and added that same was being done by Yogi government in UP.He, however, said that there was no objection in present government inaugurating the projects but at least they should not take credit for it. They should be clear as people are, he concluded.Interestingly, unlike during the inauguration of LMRC, no invitation had been sent to either Mulayam Singh Yadav or his son Akhilesh Yadav, sources in administration said. LMRC had sent an invitation to former CM Akhilesh Yadav, however, he didn't come.While the Blua Ghat overbridge is worth Rs 87.47 crore, Samne Ghat overbridge has come up at a cost of Rs 84.74 crore.
