Congress surrounded BJP after the accident
After this accident, Congress attacked the BJP government. Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said, these incidents once again remind us of accidents like Coromandel Express. Running one Vande Bharat does not improve the condition of other trains. He said on the Railway Minister reaching the accident site, he is doing a great favor to the country. There was a time when he used to resign. Now he gets praise even for reaching the accident site. At present, everyone’s priority is to save people.
