There was a word war between NCP and Shiv Sena.
At the same time, the ruling Shiv Sena and the opposition NCP had seen a verbal war over the construction of this bridge. Along with this, a cold war was going on between the two regarding the inauguration of the bridge. Because Shiv Sena was claiming that the work on this bridge has started because of him, and the credit for its construction goes to local MP Shrikant Shinde. On the other hand, MLA Jitendra Awhad has claimed that the bridge will be inaugurated by NCP State President Jayant Patil as NCP had first demanded the construction of this bridge and then MP Anand Paranjpe by correspondence through the Railways. But now the ruling Shiv Sena has won and is about to be inaugurated by Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde.
