BJP leader accuses TMC for Odisha train tragedy, says it was conspired by Mamata's party
Bhubaneshwar: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Suvendu Adhikari has accused the Trinamool Congress of being involved in the train accident that occurred in Odisha, as reported by ANI. Adhikari, the Leader of Opposition in West Bengal, questioned the reason behind the Trinamool Congress' apparent panic and fear of a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the incident, which took place in another state.
“Why have they been panicking so much since yesterday when this incident is of another state?” he questioned.
The train accident in Balasore, Odisha on June 2 resulted in the unfortunate deaths of 278 passengers, with over 900 individuals sustaining injuries. The collision involved three trains - the Coromandel Express, traveling from Howrah to Chennai, and a goods train that was parked on the loop line in Balasore. Initially, the Coromandel Express had received a green signal to enter the Up Main Line, but the signal was later withdrawn. Subsequently, the express train entered a loop line.
Following this, two coaches of the Bengaluru-Howrah Express, which was en route to Howrah, derailed as they came into contact with the derailed coaches of the Coromandel Express.
A preliminary investigation by the Railways suggests that a signalling error may have been the cause of the accident. The Central Bureau of Investigation is currently conducting a thorough investigation into the incident.
Dinesh Trivedi, a prominent BJP leader from West Bengal who previously served as Union Railways Minister, has also expressed suspicions of a "meticulous conspiracy" behind the train accident. Trivedi believes that the crash was not a mere accident but an act of sabotage, citing multiple incidents occurring within seconds and suggesting extensive planning and calculation.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
