On Tuesday, the Congress demanded the resignation of Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw following the heartbreaking Kanchanjunga Express accident, accusing the government of 'destroying' Indian Railways.
The opposition alleged 'criminal negligence' by the Modi administration, citing unresolved staffing and safety issues. Party leader Mallikarjun Kharge directly questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's accountability, adding to the pressure.
