Days after a bizarre 90-degree turn on a Bhopal flyover sparked memes, Congress Kerala took a fresh dig- this time at a zigzagging stretch of highway in Andhra Pradesh. Sharing a Google Maps screenshot of a bridge on State Highway 57 near Vasudevapuram, the party posted on X with the caption: “Bhopal made a 90° flyover. Andhra: ‘Hold my chai.’”
The post showed three sharp turns crammed into a single segment of road and quickly went viral with over seven lakh views. Social media users dubbed it “Temple Run- Andhra version” and joked about its apparent absurdity, with one user calling it “the work of Covid-time engineers.”
Bhopal Bridge Sparks National Debate
This latest round of infrastructure trolling comes on the heels of a controversy in Madhya Pradesh over a newly built ₹18-crore railway overbridge near Aishbagh Stadium in Bhopal. The 648-metre-long bridge stunned commuters with a near-90-degree bend right at the top, raising serious road safety concerns.
Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari slammed the project, saying, “The government should get up before it becomes a death ground.”
While the Public Works Department defended the design- blaming space constraints due to a nearby metro station and railway land- experts warned that the sharp turn could lead to accidents.
While the online banter has been light-hearted, the viral images have amplified concerns over poor infrastructure planning and a lack of basic safety logic in public works.
