BL Santosh trolled on Twitter for thanking PM Modi after being served tea on Vande Bharat train
Users say they were served tea on trains in 1975
New Delhi: BJP National General Secretary and senior RSS leader BL Santosh was trolled on Twitter after he thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi after having been served a cup of tea in Vande Bharat Express.
In a tweet on Sunday, Santosh shared a picture of tea and biscuit being served to him adding that it was a special experience and the governance has reached a new height under PM Modi.
He also thanked Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in the tweet for the experience.
Twitter users who took note of the tweet, trolled Santosh adding that snacks and tea were being served on trains like Rajdhani Express since the 1970s.
Journalist Sanjukta Basu reminded Santhosh that she traveled on a train that served four different cuisines in the year 1985.
Another user sarcastically thanked Modi stating that there were no trains in India before 2014 and tea was only sold to foreigners as Indians were not able to afford such luxuries.
“Two biscuits and one cup of tea and governance has reached a new height!! I got the same thing in the Rajdhani Express whenever I travelled since 1975!!” another user wrote.
“I remember the days when the waiter came around with the thermos, and directly poured it into your mouth. But thankfully we invented cups in 2014.” another user added.

This is so amazing. I still remember the days before 2014 when people had to carry Tea leaves, water, saucepan, stove and make their own tea in train https://t.co/0DDh4m2eHb

What a transformation in the Indian railways under PM! The secret recipe for this chai has been given by the original chai wala of the country! Never before such a tea has been served inside trains. This is what we get when we elect a chai wala as PM!

That's the duty of the government.
Oh My God, amazing governance, 1st time in the history of Indian Railways, tea has been served to a passenger in a train. One more step towards achieving a 5 million ton economy.

This is breaking news indeed!!!
When you don’t have real achievements, you boast about tea on a train-which is even more hilarious because that is not even an achievement

Only a scientist par excellence who can “shuck” oxygen and water from the air with the help of turbine, who can make tea using gas from a dirty, stinking nullah, who can use e-mail and digital camera in 1988 before these were invented, can achieve this Herculean feat.
