AAP MP Raghav Chadha has blamed the Indian Railways for the stampede at New Delhi Railway Station that claimed 18 lives. Chadha also questioned the government’s response, citing CAG reports on rising rail accidents. The stampede occurred around 10 pm on Saturday as thousands of devotees rushed to board trains to Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh 2025, leading to severe overcrowding at the station. \”This incident has shaken the nation’s soul. I pray for the families of the deceased and the speedy recovery of the injured,\” Chadha said, expressing grief over the February 15 tragedy, which killed 18 people and injured several others. \”What action will be taken? Who is responsible? The government must act,\” he added. \”I raised this issue in Parliament on February 11. Passengers are stuffed in trains like potato sacks,\” he said, adding, \”There is no crowd management, and if such incidents happen during Mahakumbh, how will passengers feel safe?\”
