RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav calls Maha Kumbh “meaningless” while blaming the Railways for the stampede in New Delhi that left 18 dead. He also slammed the BJP-led government at the Centre over the incident at New Delhi railway station and demanded resignation of the railway minister. Bihar BJP spokesperson Manoj Sharma said it has exposed the RJD’s mindset towards the Hindu religion. A two-member committee constituted to probe the deadly stampede inspected the site, spoke to witnesses and secured the CCTV footage on Sunday. The committee comprising, Narsingh Deo, PCCM/Northern Railway, and Pankaj Gangwar, PCSC Northern Railway, ordered the securing of video footage of platforms 14 and 15 of the station where the massive crowd of passengers had gathered. At least 18 people were killed and over a dozen injured in the stampeded that erupted late Saturday night at the crowded New Delhi station. Authorities were yet to confirm the exact number of casualties and injured from Bihar.
