AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj accuses BJP government of covering up Odisha train tragedy, citing poor railway maintenance and lack of safety measures. He calls for an independent probe and holds Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw responsible for the accident.

Indian Railways has spent more than Rs 1 lakh crore on safety measures, including a significant increase in track renewal expenditure, as per official documents. This counters Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's claims against Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw over the Odisha tragedy. The government is expected to respond to the accusations soon.

The Indian government rebuffs the recent CAG report on the expenditure of safety by Indian Railways, stating it is being selectively used. Rs.1 lakh crore has been allocated to Rashtriya Rail Sanraksha Kosh fund for critical safety works, with over Rs.1 lakh crore spent on RRSK works alone. The ministry aims to provide an accurate picture of Indian Railways' safety-related expenditure to avoid misconceptions. Expenditure on track renewal has significantly increased. The railway ministry will reply to the CAG report soon.
