After a goods train collided with an express train in West Bengal’s Darjeeling district on Monday morning, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed the central government for neglecting passengers’ amenities and focusing only on beautification of words.

“They (BJP) have so many talking points and beautification of words. It is just like fashion. But they don’t take care of passengers’ amenities,” the Chief Minister said speaking to reporters at the Kolkata Airport before heading off for Siliguri.
Highlighting poor amenities for passengers travelling by Railways, Banerjee who had earlier served as the Railway Minister in the Vajpayee-led NDA government said, “I have heard that the passengers who travel at night in the sleeper coach get such poor bedding system that there are various kinds of dirty things in it. They do not even clean the washrooms. The food quality has also become very bad.”
The Chief Minister said that the central government does not give adequate importance to the Ministry and the department can only be seen at the time of inauguration of projects.
