Rahul expresses grief over Maharashtra bus accident

Congress president Rahul Gandhi expressed grief over the death of 33 staff members of an agriculture university in a road accident in Maharashtra today.

"I'm sorry to hear about the terrible bus accident in Raigad, Maharashtra in which a large number of people have been killed and many others injured. I appeal to Congress party workers in the area to provide all possible assistance to the injured and families of those who have died," Gandhi tweeted.

The staff members of a varsity were killed when the bus in which they were travelling skidded off the road and rolled down a deep gorge in Raigad district this afternoon.
