Anyone who was anyone had a say in the tragedy of the Kolkata flyover collapse. While TMC resolutely denied having any complicity with God in the collapse of the flyover, or any other infrastructural inadequacies across West Bengal, the BJP and right-wing leaders descended upon the state to promise better flyovers and better Gods for the people to blame. Even media gurus and pop babas had their take.
