Letter to Chief Minister

In a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Rai stated that questions could not be ruled out over alleged administrative negligence and possible corruption. “The truth behind the accident should come out through a fair and high-level judicial investigation, and those responsible must face strict action,” he said. He added that the government should place the “real facts” before the public while ensuring strict action against those found responsible.

The Congress also constituted a delegation led by former Uttar Pradesh Congress president Brijlal Khabri, which visited the accident site and met affected families and local residents.
