Unable to extract a clean what is said in the video.

What's right

PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the 594-km Ganga Expressway on April 29, 2026 [2][3][5][6].
The expressway connects 12 districts of Uttar Pradesh and is a significant infrastructure project [2][5].
The project was completed in less than five years after its foundation stone was laid in December 2021 [3][6].

What's wrong

There is no evidence in the provided sources to support the claim that videos of cracks and sinking roads on the Ganga Expressway went viral a month after its inauguration [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].
The claim's timeline of events, specifically the alleged viral videos and criticism occurring in May 2026, is not corroborated by the provided news articles, which were published around the time of the inauguration (late April/early May 2026) [1][3][4][5][6][7].
The provided sources do not mention any issues with cracks or sinking roads on the newly inaugurated expressway.

Breakdown

The claim asserts that a month after the inauguration of the Ganga Expressway, videos of cracks and sinking roads went viral, leading to criticism. However, the provided news articles, which cover the inauguration and its immediate aftermath, do not contain any information about such viral videos or construction quality issues.

The inauguration date of the Ganga Expressway by PM Narendra Modi is confirmed as April 29, 2026 [2][3][5][6]. The project itself is a 594-km expressway connecting 12 districts in Uttar Pradesh [2][5].

The sources highlight the speed of construction, with the project being completed in less than five years [3][6]. Crucially, none of the provided references mention any reports or viral videos of cracks or sinking roads on the Ganga Expressway in May 2026 or any other time.

The news coverage focuses on the project's benefits, its scale, and the Prime Minister's statements about development. Therefore, the central assertion of the claim regarding construction defects and viral criticism is unsubstantiated by the available evidence. [1][2][3]
