No. Government has done lots of bailouts, and it is has never opened up litigation from conpetitors, even though a common result is that the government (1) stops their competitor from failing, and (2) becomes a major and active shareholder in their competitor.
The reason it doesn't open up litigation is that there is no law which prohibits would therefore provide a cause of action for that.
