Train accidents are an example of how the narrative changes under the Bharatiya Janata Party government. Train accidents used to happen earlier also, but rarely after any accident it was said that the accident was caused by a conspiracy. This was not said for a long time even during the BJP government. But ever since former IAS officer Ashwini Vaishnav became the Railway Minister, the entire narrative of accidents has changed. Now, wherever there is a train accident, before the information about the injured or the dead comes the news that the train accident has been carried out as part of a conspiracy.
Earlier, whenever there was a train accident, news would come about how many coaches derailed, how many people were injured, how many people died, how many trains had to be cancelled, what is the emergency number etc. But now these news do not come. Now in one line it is said that the train accident was caused as part of a conspiracy. In fact, ever since the Railway Minister termed the train accident as a minor incident, every small or big derailment of passenger or goods train or any other accident has gone viral on the social media by terming it as a minor incident in the words of the Railway Minister. Started being done. For a few days, the Railway Minister and his PR team looked at it and when it was felt that the perception was being affected by it, the conspiracy aspect was immediately added to counter it. There is no doubt that there have been reports of cylinders or other items being kept on railway tracks at many places, but it is not that all the accidents are the result of some conspiracy.
