Mumbai, Nov 11: The NCP (SP) on Wednesday criticised Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw following a train accident in Assam, calling him a "reel minister" and demanding his resignation.
Party spokesperson Clyde Crasto said railway accidents were occurring frequently but the minister was busy making social media reels and publicising himself instead of focusing on railway safety.
Though there were no major casualties in the latest accident, railway safety remained a serious concern, he added.
"The railway minister should resign, but he will not, because he is only interested in making reels," Crasto said, adding that Vaishnaw should be called the "reel minister".
Four persons suffered minor injuries after five coaches and the engine of the Kolkata-Sairang Express derailed at Digaru near Guwahati on Wednesday.
