Patna: Former Union Railways Minister and head of RJD Ralu Prasad on Saturday criticized the Narendra Modi-led central government for the Odisha train tragedy that killed at least 288 people and injured more than 900.
“The current Narendra Modi regime has destroyed Indian Railways,” he called for a high-level investigation into Friday’s accident in Balasore, Odisha state.
“The Odisha Railways tragedy is a major blunder by the railways. It needs a high-level inquiry. The center should provide Rs 10 lakh each to bereaved families and another Rs 50 lakh compensation to the injured,” said former Biha said the Chief Minister of the state.
Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tjash Viadav expressed his condolences over the tragedy and asked Odisha and the central government to speed up rescue operations and provide necessary medical treatment.
Vikassheel Insan party chairman Mukesh Sahani also expressed his condolences to the bereaved family.
