Kolkata: Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal assembly, alleged on Tuesday that chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) was behind the Odisha train accident that killed 278 people and injured over 1000.
Adhikari emphasised the importance of investigating the alleged conspiracy from its inception, questioning the TMC’s reluctance to support a CBI investigation, especially since the accident occurred in Odisha. “The manner in which the conversation between two railway officials reached the TMC should also be investigated,” he added.
Adhikari was referring to an alleged audio clip of a conversation between two railway officials, which was shared on Twitter by TMC leader Kunal Ghosh last Sunday.
Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has cancelled her trip to North Bengal and will instead travel to Odisha on Tuesday (June 6) to meet with injured railway passengers who are being treated in the neighbouring state. Mamata Banerjee stated during a press conference that the state ministers in West Bengal have divided the work and are visiting patients in various hospitals to provide assistance.
