A few years ago when a flyover collapsed in another poll bound state in India, killing several people, our current Prime Minister said, to applause, it was "a message from God" not to vote for his rivals in their govt.Today it is his own party that was in power when this bridge collapsed and their supporters here will.tell you "not to politicise" the incident. Only they are allowed to politicise the deaths of citizens.

The post you linked has been removed and the thread repeatedly debunked this claim. It's an old video that pre-dates the incident.

It's more relevant to point out the shoddy construction and failure to control number of persons on the bridge than to blame those who drowned. If a bridge collapse because a few people jumped and shook the wires it wasn't sturdy to begin with. Why are you and your friends at the sub you linked not holding the govt accountable? Wasn't it repaired four days ago? Why instead are you showing an old pre-repair video and trying to pass it off as the cause?
