Bandra railway station stampede shows Railways Minister's incapability, says Aaditya Thackeray

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 27 : Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday criticized Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw following a stampede at Mumbai's Bandra railway station that injured at least nine people.
He said the incident reflected how incapable the current Railways Minister is.
"Wish the reel minister was a rail minister for once. The incident at Bandra only reflects how incapable the current Railways Minister is," Aaditya Thackeray said in a post on X.
"The BJP has made Ashwini Vaishnaw ji, a prabhari for BJP Maharashtra for elections, but every week there are some incidents and accidents that occur with the railways. Such a shame that our country has been forced under such incapable ministers," he added.
Meanwhile, taking a swipe at the BJP, Congress leader Rashid Alvi said such railway accidents are happening in Maharashtra despite the state having a "double-engine" government.
"There is 'jungle raj' in Maharashtra. They say that everything will be good in a double-engine government. There is a double-engine government in Maharashtra. Railways are under them, and law and order are under them, despite that such incidents are happening with passengers. Who will trust railways and Maharashtra? I condemn this incompetent government of Maharashtra," Alvi told ANI.
At least nine people were injured following a stampede at Mumbai's Bandra railway station on Sunday morning, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.
The stampede occurred due to a rush on platform number 1, where a crowd gathered for the Bandra-Gorakhpur Express at Bandra Terminus station.
Following the incident, the injured passengers have been shifted to the hospital, the BMC further said.
