Akhilesh asked questions about the accident
Every life is precious, but the loss of lives of doctors who save lives is even more tragic. Tribute!
The BJP government should think why the number of accidents on the expressway suddenly increased
- Does the BJP government not have the competence and capacity to maintain this world class expressway built during the SP era or is this being done deliberately.
- Is highway policing limited to parking a car on a corner and looking at a mobile phone? When you watch from your mobile, you will see who is driving the wrong car.
- Is CCTV technology that monitors movement just to make money by issuing currency or also to save lives by giving alerts?
- Does the government have no solution to control the movement of cattle that causes accidents hundreds of times?
The BJP regime is treating the 'Lucknow-Agra Expressway' like a step-mother, for which people are paying the price with their lives.
For SP, the 'expressway' was the concrete form of a big idea. It was meant to speed up transport along with security and link the economy, agriculture and business of all sectors in between with progress and development, but it has become a mere tool for earning crores for the BJP. This toll collection work has also been given to a private company, and there is no need to explain to the public why it has been given.
If someone is responsible in the government, he may not answer, but will take certain steps to save people's lives.
