He sought information related to the work of the bridge through a supplementary question. Minister of State Jagdish Vishwakarma replied that he needs the help of Khedawala to complete the work as 700 trucks, shops, kios, more than 1200 rickshaws and 11 garages have illegally encroached in the area.
The minister said that six religious encroachments of ‘a particular community’ are also there. The minister said that recently the ‘unauthorized’ office of Khedawala in Jamalpur was demolished. Vishwakarma said, “Whenever the state government removes encroachment, opposition members conspiracy to discredit the government with political maliciousness. Whenever we remove the encroachment, Congress members conspiracy to discredit the government with the intention of dominating social media and TV (channels). When the government removes the encroachment, please support it and do not stop it. ”
