Rohini Acharya has questioned the BJP’s attempt to take credit for Nitish Setu, bringing the bridge project into the spotlight of Bihar’s political debate.
Her remarks centre on who deserves recognition for the infrastructure project and the political claims surrounding its development.
Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, has accused the BJP of claiming credit for the six-lane Kachchi Dargah–Bidupur bridge, named Nitish Setu, ahead of its scheduled inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 21.
In a post on X, Acharya claimed that the project was financed through a ₹3,000 crore Asian Development Bank loan and ₹2,000 crore from Bihar’s own resources, alleging that the central government contributed nothing to its construction.
She criticised BJP leaders for celebrating the project despite what she described as their lack of financial contribution. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has also questioned the bridge’s naming.
The bridge is expected to improve connectivity between north and south Bihar.
