Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav came under attack from opposition leaders.
Jharkhand train accident: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav came under fire from opposition leaders after the train accident in Jharkhand on Tuesday. Two people died in this train accident while 20 people were injured. Railways announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh each for the families of the deceased. Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav attacked the government and said that this government wants to make a record on train accidents. This government has already made a record on paper leak, now it is the turn of rail accidents. The SP President said that this government only makes big claims but people are losing their lives. It should take steps to prevent such accidents in future.
Mamata asked-is this good governance?
Expressing condolences to the families of the accident victims, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that someone should be held responsible for the frequent train accidents. She demanded that effective steps should be taken to prevent such incidents. Mamata said on X, “I seriously ask, is this good governance? Such accidents every week are frightening. The series of deaths and injuries on railway tracks continues. How long will we tolerate this? Will the negligence of the Government of India come to an end?”
questioned the attitude of the government
Shiv Sena Uddhav faction leader Priyanka Chaturvedi questioned the government’s attitude on the increasing rail accidents. She said, ‘So many deaths have occurred in rail accidents so far but no accountability has been fixed. I think nothing will change even with today’s accident. Compensation will be announced, investigation will be promised and after this PR will be made into Instagram reels.’ Chaturvedi targeted the Railway Minister and called him a ‘reel minister’. She criticized the government for the heavy crowd in trains and said that people are forced to travel in train toilets but the government does not feel ashamed about this.
Vaishnav’s accountability is zero- Sushmita
Trinamool Congress leaders Sushmita Dev and Sagarika Ghosh accused the Railway Minister of being unaccountable. Dev said, “Rail accidents have become a common thing now. Ashwini Vaishnav’s accountability is zero. The government has no answer.”
