The Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) on Monday demanded the resignation of Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in the wake of the train accident in Andhra Pradesh where 14 people were killed and 50 others injured.
OPCC president Sarat Pattnayak said Vaishnaw should resign from the post on “moral grounds due to frequent train accidents” during the NDA regime at the Centre.
“The prime minister should drop Vaishnaw from the Railway Ministry if he is not effectively managing affairs. Otherwise, Vaishnaw should resign from the post on moral grounds,” the Congress leader said.
