Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Suvendu Adhikari on June 5 alleged that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was behind the Odisha train accident in which at least 275 people were killed. The triple-train accident involved the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, the Coromandel Express and the goods train on three separate tracks at Bahanaga Bazar station in the Balasore district on June 2.
“This incident [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 Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation?”
