Bengaluru, Apr 4: The BJP on Tuesday dismissed as "fake" a purported list of candidates for the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka that is in circulation on social media, and alleged that it was a "lie manufactured in the Congress factory".

The ruling party has not yet released the list of candidates and is likely to come out with one after its Parliamentary Board meeting on April 8.

The "fake" four-page list of candidates for 81 constituencies is in circulation on social media with the claim that it had been released by the Central Election Committee of the BJP on Tuesday after a meeting chaired by party national president J P Nadda. However, the party issued a statement quoting its national general secretary and Karnataka in-charge Arun Singh as saying that the list is fake.

"Another lie from the Congress' factory of lies. While the process of selecting the BJP candidates is in progress, this list is a fake one," the BJP state unit tweeted.

BJP national general secretary and Chikkamagaluru MLA C T Ravi too tweeted, "CONgress Fake News Factory is circulating an alleged list of @BJP4Karnataka candidates on Social Media. Kannadigas know that we have not finalised our candidates for upcoming Assembly Elections. Fearing its defeat, CONgress has resorted to its usual cheap tactics against BJP."

Earlier in the day, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the process of selecting candidates for the Assembly polls was being held in a democratic way and it would be completed smoothly with the list being announced after the party's central leadership finalises it on April 8.

Asked by reporters if there would be surprise candidates in the fray from the BJP, he said: "Certainly, there is a plan for new experiments in certain constituencies and they will happen."

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."

Further comments emerged, with another post stating, "New video posted by the reel minister. Carrying umbrella for the goras is the development idea for the sanghis. The reel Vishwaguru."

“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.
