The BJP on June 6 alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee's visit to Odisha to meet injured people of the Balasore triple train crash was to "get political dividend".
The saffron camp also claimed that many train mishaps had taken place during Ms. Banerjee's tenure as the Railway Minister.
The ruling TMC slammed the BJP over such allegations, asserting that the saffron camp was trying to "malign the image of its chairperson to divert attention from the Centre's all-round failure".
