TMC behind the accident: Suvendu Adhikari
Meanwhile, the Leader of Opposition in West Bengal and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Monday alleged that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was behind the Odisha train accident.
"This incident (Odisha train accident) is TMC's conspiracy. They are behind the incident," Adhikari alleged. "Why have they been panicking so much since yesterday when this incident is of another state. Why are they afraid of CBI investigation?" he said.
Suvendu Adhikari referred to a purported audio clip of a conversation between two railway officials which was posted by TMC leader Kunal Ghosh on Twitter on Sunday.
He further said, "These people with the help of the police tapped the phones of both the railway officials. How did these people know the conversation between two railway officials? How the conversation got leaked. This should come in the CBI investigation. If it doesn't come, I will go to court."
Kavach fund was allotted but not spent
After the accident, questions are being raised about why safety shield Kavach was not installed in the trains. A report said that out of the budget allocated for indigenous technology for Balasore, which comes under South East Railway (SER), not a single penny has been spent in the last three years.
