Ashwini vaishnaw

By PTI BHUBANESWAR: Bureaucrat-entrepreneur-turned-politician Ashwini Vaishnaw's entry in the Union cabinet comes two years after he surprised all in Odisha's political circles when he was elected to the Upper House of Parliament as a BJP candidate despite the saffron party lacking the required numbers to send a member to Rajya Sabha. This happened in spite of criticism and objections by many within the ruling BJD. Allegations were traded that the BJD supremo succumbed to Narendra Modi-Amit Shah's pressure in supporting Vaishnaw. He was inducted into the saffron party barely six days ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections on June 28, 2019. Just about two years later he has landed himself a job in the country's cabinet ahed of veteran saffron leaders from Odisha. His batch-mate and Lok Sabha member from Bhubaneswar, Aparajita Sarangi, who won the 2019 elections after defeating the BJD candidate and former Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik, was among the front runners in the race for a ministry. During his stint as an IAS officer, Vaishnaw worked as the District Magistrate-cum Collector of Balasore and Cuttack districts. His bureaucratic acumen, in fact, came to the fore when the super cyclone hit Odisha in 1999 killing at least 10,000 people. As collector of the coastal Balasore district, Vaishnaw collected information on the cyclone from a US Navy website and sent reports to the chief secretary at regular intervals. His information helped the state government to take adv...

Former Chief Economic Advisor Krishnamurthy Subramanian on Monday backed Ashwini Vaishnaw, who has come under massive pressure over one of the deadliest train accidents in Odisha's Balasore. There have been demands for his resignation for the accident, that left 275 dead and over 1,100 injured. The tragedy happened after Coromandel Express collided with a goods train near the Bahanaga Bazar railway station in Balasore. Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Sunday demanded Vaishnaw's resignation saying the Centre cannot run away from taking responsibility for such a painful accident. "No accountability even after 270+ deaths! The Modi government cannot run away from taking responsibility for such a painful accident. The Prime Minister should immediately seek the resignation of the Railway Minister!" 270+ मौतों के बाद भी कोई जवाबदेही नहीं! मोदी सरकार इतनी दर्दनाक दुर्घटना की ज़िम्मेदारी लेने से भाग नहीं सकती। प्रधानमंत्री को फ़ौरन रेल मंत्री का इस्तीफा लेना चाहिए! — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) However, Subramanian today said that maturity demands that people learn to hold their leaders accountable for outcomes that stem from their actions, not the outcomes that stem from "inherited actions". "Safety of Railway ...

The announcement came from Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, who earlier in the day had said the root cause of the accident and the people responsible for it had been identified. “It happened due to a change made in the electronic interlocking and point machine,” he told reporters at the accident site in the morning. However, in a hurriedly convened media conference at Rail Sadan, headquarters of the East Coast Railway in Bhubaneswar, after visiting survivors undergoing treatment at SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, Vaishnaw said the case needed further investigation. “Keeping in view the situation in which the accident took place and all the administrative information that has been received so far, this case is being considered for further investigation. A recommendation is being made by the Railway Board to hand the matter over to the CBI,” Vaishnaw said. The request for a CBI probe has seemingly brought the sabotage angle into the picture. A senior Railway official said prima facie the accident appears to be an act of sabotage, which is now seen as a criminal act. The CBI will be the competent agency to investigate the criminal aspect of the case. Earlier in the day, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which officially was stated to be on the treatment of injured passengers. The chief minister assured the prime minister that all possible steps are being taken to provide the best treatment to them. According to some railw...
