“I will be present at Signature bridge to welcome the Chief Minister. After all, I am MP of the area. It took 15 years and Rs 1500 crore to build the bridge, its shameful,” Tiwari had tweeted.
Tiwari is MP from North East Delhi and the bridge comes in his constituency.
Replying to Tiwari’s tweet, Sisodia had said that entire Delhi including he (Tiwari) were invited to the inauguration function and expected him to maintain dignity of the event.
The bridge will be thrown open for public on Monday.
