New Delhi: In a recent incident, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared an old video of the Peru Rail train to Machu Picchu, mistakenly presenting it as India's Vande Bharat train. This misrepresentation has sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
Mohammed Zubair took to X, humorously thanking Prime Minister Modi for "starting a Vistadome train in Peru," questioning the minister's intelligence. Another user commented, "The infamous railway minister himself posted this!!!" highlighting the blatant error.

Critics expressed their discontent, with one stating, "Under Modi's leadership, there was already an army of idiots but now even blind people have joined them. Peru Rail is clearly written on the engine, yet it is said to be from India. Shameful. #reelminister."
मोदी के नेतृत्व में जहलों की फौज तो थी ही अब अंधे भी शामिल हो गय हैं। इंजन पर साफ साफ पेरू रेल लिखा है फिर भी भारत का बता रहा है। शर्मनाक। #reelminister.

“Looks like our Railway Minister has unlocked the ultimate level of patriotism—rebranding international trains as 'Make in India'! Who knew Machu Picchu was the latest stop on the Vande Bharat express?,” another user wrote.
