Lucknow: A video apparently exposing the poor quality of construction at a college building being built in Uttar Pradesh was shared today by Samajwadi Party Akhilesh Yadav as he targeted the state's ruling BJP over corruption.
In the video, a brick pillar at the construction site in the state's Pratapgarh district comes crashing down as Samajwadi Party MLA RK Verma pushes it with his bare hands.
"This will be a four-story building," the MLA scoffs in the video.
The video was shot yesterday when the lawmaker visited the under-construction government engineering college for inspection.
The video tweeted by Akhilesh Yadav is from the area where hostel buildings are coming up, according to the MLA.
"The wonder of corruption under BJP rule is unique. The bricks of the engineering college were put together without cement," Akhilesh Yadav said in a tweet in Hindi.
Dr Verma, meanwhile, tweeted another video in which he went on to inspect other parts of the construction site and had more brick walls collapsing.
"Such shoddy construction work will not build the future of the youth. This is like arranging for their death. This is a glimpse of the corrupt government machinery at the engineering college being built in Raniganj assembly," he said in his tweet.
