Odisha Train Accident: The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) has alleged that Odisha triple train accident was TMC's 'conspiracy' and that the party 'tapped' the phones of two railway officials. According to ANI, West Bengal leader of the opposition and BJP's Suvendu Adhikari said that the people of TMC, with the help of the police, tapped the phones of two railway officials else how they would know about the conversation between them. Responding to the charges, TMC leader Saugata Roy said that they don't pay attention to what Suvendu Adhikari says and that TMC is 'not afraid of CBI'.

Slamming the TMC, Adhikari said, "This incident is TMC's conspiracy. Why have they been panicking so much since yesterday when this incident is of another state? Why are they afraid of CBI investigation? These people with the help of the police tapped the phones of both the railway officials. How did these people know the conversation between two railway officials? How the conversation got leaked."

As per ANI, the BJP leader further said that this angle should also be investigated by the CBI else he will go to court.

The response came over an alleged audio clip of a conversation between two railway officials, which TMC leader Kunal Ghosh tweeted last Sunday, as per HT.

Reacting to it, as per ANI, TMC MP Saugata Roy said, "We don't pay attention to what Suvendhu (Adhikari) says....We are not scared of CBI. In the past, Abhishek Banerjee answered all questions asked by the Enforcement Directorate of him."
