“The 288 families affected by the Odisha rail tragedy will not find justice in the praises of the Rail Minister. Justice will only be served when their accountability and responsibility are determined. All the facts indicate that the Modi government has neglected the Railway Ministry in the past 9 years. And now, the country is paying the price for it,” Kharge tweeted.
