On being asked about Morbi bridge collapse in Gujarat that killed over 130 people, BJP leader Hardik Patel today said that if anyone is found to have caused it due to negligence or corruption, "exemplary punishment should be given".
"The BJP doesn't shield anyone. If the court asks to act against Oreva's (contractor company) owner, the state government will definitely take action. And we will also ensure that incidents like these don't get repeated," he said, "But playing politics on dead bodies, as the Opposition did, is also very shameful."
