The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the Balasore train accident and said that before the accident, there were complaints of problems with the signalling system and a shortage in manpower, but the Central government had not done anything about these issues.
The party also demanded the resignation of Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The AAP’s chief spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar alleged that the Narendra Modi-led Central government’s “negligence” and focus on symbolic gestures had compromised the safety and lives of innocent citizens.
