Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has taken a bold stand against the Narendra Modi government, accusing them of “corruption and criminal negligence” in various recent infrastructure projects. These include the collapse of the Delhi Airport Terminal 1 roof, the leakage at Ayodhya Ram Mandir, and other instances of shoddy infrastructure.
Kharge expressed his concerns in a post on X, stating, “Corruption and criminal negligence are responsible for the collapse of shoddy infrastructure falling like a deck of cards, in the past 10 years of the Modi Govt.”
The Congress leader highlighted multiple infrastructural failures under the Modi government, including collapses at various airports, road conditions, bridge collapses, and tunnel submerges. These instances point towards a systemic issue of negligence and mismanagement.
Corruption and criminal negligence is responsible for the collapse of shoddy infrastructure falling like a deck of cards, in the past 10 years of Modi Govt.

Kharge criticized PM Modi and the BJP for their failure to deliver on their promises of creating world-class infrastructure. The delays and collapses in various projects reflect poorly on the government’s ability to prioritize citizen safety and well-being.
He emphasized that the government’s focus on optics and quick inaugurations before elections has led to subpar infrastructure that puts people’s lives at risk. Kharge extended his condolences to the victims of the Delhi airport tragedy, attributing their suffering to a corrupt and incompetent government.
In response, Union Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu clarified that the building inaugurated by PM Modi at Delhi Airport is on a different side and not related to Terminal 1, where the collapse occurred.
The minister announced compensation for the deceased and injured individuals affected by the roof collapse at Delhi Airport, underscoring the government’s commitment to address the aftermath of the incident.
Delhi Airport Terminal 1 roof collapse
A tragic incident unfolded at Delhi Airport Terminal 1, as a portion of the roof collapsed, resulting in one death and several injuries. The aftermath of the collapse highlighted the urgent need for infrastructure assessments and improvements to prevent future tragedies.
Authorities mobilized quickly to assist the victims and address the structural issues that led to the collapse. The incident disrupted flight operations and prompted safety measures to ensure passenger well-being amidst the chaos.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu assured ongoing efforts to monitor and manage the aftermath of the roof collapse at Delhi Airport, prioritizing passenger safety and operational stability during the crisis.
The incident prompted temporary cancellations by airlines and transportation disruptions, underscoring the widespread impact of poor infrastructure management on public services and safety protocols.
As authorities grapple with the aftermath of the collapse, regulatory bodies and stakeholders must collaborate to prevent such tragedies and ensure the resilience of critical infrastructure for the benefit of all citizens.
Ayodhya Ram Mandir roof leakage
The Ayodhya Ram Mandir faced a concerning issue of roof leakage, sparking questions about the temple’s structural integrity and maintenance practices. The incident raised doubts about meeting construction deadlines and emphasized the need for thorough inspections and maintenance protocols.
The leakage near the revered Ram Lalla idol highlighted the delicate balance between traditional reverence and modern engineering standards, signaling the importance of incorporating best practices in heritage conservation and maintenance.
Efforts to address the leakage issue must prioritize structural assessments and appropriate remediation measures to safeguard the temple’s sanctity and ensure long-term preservation of this cultural landmark.
