Six-lane Ganga bridge should be named after Lalu Prasad, demands his daughter Rohini Acharya
The 9.76 km cable-styled bridge would connect Kacchi Dargah of Deedarganj area of south Patna district to Bidupur near Hajipur in adjoining Vaishali district through Raghopur riverine area
Rohini Acharya, daughter of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad, has suggested that the upcoming six-lane Ganga bridge, scheduled to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 21, should be named after her father or be called the 'Social Justice Bridge'. The bridge, known as the Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur Ganga bridge, is currently designated as 'Nitish Setu' by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, in honor of former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The bridge, which is 9.76 km long and connects the Raghopur area of Patna district to Bidupur near Hajipur in Vaishali district, will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister. Rohini Acharya argued that Lalu Prasad had made significant efforts for the development of the Raghopur area and that the bridge should be named after him to recognize his contributions.
She also accused the state government of taking credit for projects started by others. Nitish Kumar's party, however, dismissed the suggestion, stating that the bridge will benefit the people of Bihar and is a milestone in the state's development journey.
