‘Kahin Kahin Pe Bridge Hai, Baaki Sara Surang Hai’

Jammu, Apr 30: Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw’s visit to iconic Chenab bridge – the world’s highest rail bridge in Reasi district for inspection was marked by some mirthful moments on Thursday.

Vaishnaw, who had come to flag-off extended Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express, after the event at Jammu Railway Station travelled on board Vande Bharat to Reasi district to inspect Anji Khad and Chebab bridges and review ongoing works there.

He was accompanied by the Union Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh and Bhojpuri actor-turned-BJP MP from Delhi Manoj Tiwari besides other dignitaries and senior officers of railway, civil and police administration.

While Vaishnaw was inspecting Chenab bridge, Tiwari tried to sum up his spectacular train journey on the USBRL corridor, which is marked by iconic bridges and tunnels through an instant poem.

“Kahin Kahin Pe Bridge Hai, Baaki Sara Surang Hai”, he recited evoking laughter all around.

“I created this poem at the historic place (Chenab bridge). Actually, I wanted to point out that we believe in “walk the talk.” Whatever we say, we accomplish it. Recently when I uploaded a video blog based on Bhai Sahib’s (Vaishnaw’s) parliament speech, it garnered over 7 million views. Actually, we don’t boast. We say only what can be accomplished,” Tiwari remarked.

“Right now, I’m walking on this bridge along with two important pillars (Vaishnaw and Dr Jitendra) of PM Modi, who is running this nation with visionary leadership. Afterall it is not without any reason that I’ve left the world of cinema to be among them (in politics),” Tiwari said.

Dr Jitendra commented, “They (cinema world) will not let you go.”

“No, I’m saying that Prime Minister Modi’s promise is being fulfilled,” Tiwari said.

“Aap Ka Andaz Hi Nirala Hai (You’ve a unique way of conveying things),” Vaishnaw commented with a broad smile.
