"In March 2010, when she was in the Opposition, she questioned lack of disaster management protocols, after the Park Street fire. But after 10 years in office, there has been no improvement in track record of fire safety. Once again, negligence of the State has led to loss of lives," Malviya tweeted.

"Every time there is a tragedy in WB, all that Mamata Banerjee does is shift blame. She blamed the Left for the bridge collapse in 2016 and the fire in AMRI. Social media was blamed for the Dhulagarh riots and now Railway is being blamed for the fire, in which they have lost their people!" another of Malviya's tweet read.
