The condolences to the Congress family are with the afflicted families. In this hour of grief, God should support the mournful families and give quick health benefits to the injured. The Modi government should hand over the body of the dead to their families and make arrangements to reach home. All the injured devotees should be treated properly and better. Some questions also arise from this sad incident. The government knew that Mahakumbh was going on, so why did not many trains run during that time? Why was there not arrangements to control the crowd at the railway station? Who is responsible for this accident?

Why not arrange for mob control: Congress
RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav said, ‘The mind is disturbed by untimely deaths due to chaos and stampede at New Delhi railway station. Despite so many government resources, devotees are going to be done in the stampede and the double engine government is busy in pushing these unfortunate events. Instead of common people and devotees, the attention of the government is limited to media management, VIP people’s convenience and their arrangements. In this hour of grief, my condolences are with bereaved families. I pray to God to give peace to the departed virtues and quickly health benefits of the injured. ॐ Peace ॐ. ‘
Is there no importance of our life?
Many people died in a stampede due to Badintzami at Delhi railway station.
Will anyone be responsible for these deaths?
If you die in Mahakumbh, it is said that “salvation is found”
Now the government will say “Who said to come to the station?”
The image of the government survived or dead…– Sanjay Singh aap (@sanjayazadsln) February 15, 2025
Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh questioned the government, ‘Isn’t there any importance in our life? Many people died in a stampede due to misconduct at Delhi railway station. Will anyone be responsible for these deaths? If you die in Mahakumbh, it is said that salvation is found. Now the government would say who said to come to the station? Humans should remain the image of the survivor or dead government. Atishi wrote on X, ‘Such an incident is very sad with the devotees going for Mahakumbh. There is no worry about the security of the people nor the UP government. There are no arrangements in Prayagraj nor there are any concrete traffic arrangements for the devotees coming from different states of the country. I request the railway department to help people as soon as possible.
