'There Is No Accountability': Rahul Gandhi Slams BJP Govt Over Noida Techie's Death

The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday raised concerns over the lack of accountability after the death of a 27-year-old man who died after his car plunged into the drain in Greater Noida's Sector 150 area.

In a post on X, the Congress leader cited the various national issues that claimed innocent lives and attributed them to a lack of accountability, in a veiled attack on the BJP government."Roads kill, Bridges kill, Fires kill, Water kills, Pollution kills, Corruption kills, and indifference kills; India's urban collapse isn't about lack of money, technology, or solutions. It's about lack of accountability," he wrote in the post. The Congress MP also gave an abbreviation: "TINA: There Is No Accountability."
