Congress leader and newly-appointed Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched a scathing attack on the Modi government on Monday, alleging that the last 11 years under its rule have seen “no accountability, no change \u2014 only propaganda.”<\/p>\n
His remarks came in response to a tragic railway incident in Maharashtra\u2019s Thane district, where at least four passengers reportedly died and several others were injured after falling from an overcrowded local train.<\/p>\n
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Gandhi posted in Hindi:
\u201cWhile the Modi government celebrates 11 years of \u2018seva\u2019 (service), the reality of the country is reflected in the heartbreaking news from Mumbai \u2013 several people have died after falling off a local train.\u201d<\/p>\n
He alleged that the Indian Railways \u2014 a critical lifeline for millions of daily commuters \u2014 has become synonymous with \u201cinsecurity, congestion, and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c11 years of Modi government = no accountability, no change, only propaganda,\u201d he wrote.
\u201cThe government has even stopped talking about 2025. Now it sells dreams of 2047, while failing to address the suffering of today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gandhi extended condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.<\/p>\n
The fatal incident took place between Diva and Kopar railway stations on Monday morning when two overcrowded suburban trains passed each other. According to preliminary accounts, some passengers hanging from the footboards may have brushed against each other due to the narrow gap between trains, leading to the fall.<\/p>\n
Railway authorities have yet to confirm the exact number of casualties but acknowledged that the trains were overcrowded during peak hours.<\/p>\n
An investigation is underway, and officials are reviewing surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts to determine the precise cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
