Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and a former Minister of Railways, visited the Balasore train accident victims on Tuesday at the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, Odisha.She had earlier been at the accident scene in Balasore on Saturday to assess the state of the rescue efforts and inquire as to why the Center’s “Kavach” system was missing from the collision’s track. On the other hand, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), according to West Bengal’s leader of the opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, was responsible for the Odisha railway catastrophe, which claimed at least 275 lives.

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 (Odisha 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 the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation?” he said.The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader referred to a purported audio clip of a conversation between two railway officials which TMC leader Kunal Ghosh posted on Twitter on Sunday.He further said, “These people with the help of the police tapped the phones of both the railway officials. How did these people know the conversation between two railway officials? How the conversation got leaked. This should come in the CBI investigation. If it doesn’t come, I will go to court.”
