Tiwari claimed some members of the Delhi Police misbehaved with him at the inauguration.
BJP Delhi chief and MP Manoj Tiwari got into a fracas at the opening of the Signature Bridge on Sunday.
Tiwari claimed some members of the Delhi Police misbehaved with him at the inauguration. He was quoted saying by news agency ANI: “I was invited to the inauguration event. I am MP from here. So what's the problem? Am I a criminal? Why has the police surrounded me? I'm here to welcome him (Arvind Kejriwal). AAP and police have misbehaved with me.”
He added: “In my constituency (North East Delhi.), I re-started construction of the bridge after it was stalled for many years & now Arvind Kejriwal is organising an inauguration ceremony."
Reacting Dilip Pandey of AAP stated: “Thousands of people have come here to celebrate without an invitation card, but the MP (Manoj Tiwari) considers himself VIP. He is doing hooliganism. BJP people thrashed AAP volunteers & local people. They are admitted to hospital.”
Delhi Arvind Kejriwal also blamed BJP for chaos and said Delhi Police were a mute spectaor. He wrote on Twitter: “Unprecedented. Chaos by BJP at Signature Bridge inauguration site. Its a Del govt prog. Police mute spectator. Can LG, being head of Del police, ensure peace and order at Signature bridge inauguration site?”
Delhi's long-awaited Signature Bridge is opening today for the public on November 4. The project aims to reduce travel time and traffic congestion between the north-eastern and northern parts of the national capital.
The bridge, built over the Yamuna River, will be the first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge in India.
The bridge also includes a glass-steel observation deck at the top of the bride, although it will not be available for public use for at least another three months, according to media reports. The deck offers a panoramic view of the city.
The project was announced in 2004, although a number of delays and budget modifications led to the project being delayed several times.
The 575-metre bride will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on November 4, following which, it will be open for public use.
