Doesn't the Railway Ministry Have Any Sense of Responsibility: Mamata Banerjee

  • Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed that the sudden deployment of trains in Bengal was a tactic to disturb her.
  • She said "What is this nonsense? We are battling corona, on one hand, the cyclone on the other & they are sending all these trains. Doesn't the railway ministry have any sense of responsibility?"
  • "They were supposed to consult state govts before sending. Why didn't they consult us? They did not follow our schedule. They did what was politically convenient to them and forcefully," she added. 
  • CM further said, "Don't you see it is causing trouble for Bengal? We are in the middle of a natural calamity. Should I be handling the calamity, people's suffering, or the politics they have thrust upon me?"
  • While the opposition BJP accused CM of trying to get rid of her responsibility towards migrants, claiming she did not want them back.
