| Congress on Monday hit out at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government for the recent spate of train accidents in the country, demanding a detailed report on them and asked PM Modi "who was responsible for them and what action will be taken against them".
Slamming the government for abject failure on railway safety, the Congress also said Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu should have "resigned on moral grounds", and asked who should be held accountable for these accidents and continuous loss of innocent lives.
"The Narendra Modi government has failed on all fronts. The abject railway safety record is a good barometer of this government's record," said Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar.
"While changing the colours of the bedsheets, surge pricing and Wi-fi at stations could be cosmetic ideas, the government has miserably failed on the core issue of ensuring safety and security for crores of passengers who travel by train in the length and breadth of this country," he added.
Mr Kumar also said the recent railway accident due to the derailment of Jagdalpur-Bhubaneswar Express is the third major train accident in the past two months and it was the fifth such accident in the past six months.
