There can never be any room for politics when such horrific tragedies occur. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cannot put the blame on the previous government. Even if the Left Front government awarded the contract of building the bridge to a company without much experience during its tenure, how can the Chief Minister forget that she has been ruling the state for the past 5 years? On the contrary she should have undertaken the responsibility to rectify the past mistakes. Whether the construction company is to be blamed or not for the collapse will be known only after investigations are complete. But the company’s reaction to the tragedy by calling it an act of God is certainly insensitive and irresponsible.
