Right-Wing Twitter troll Mr. Sinha lauds Gujarat’s Volvo buses, netizens line up to troll him
Users laud Karnataka’s Ambari, Airavat buses
A right-wing Twitter account named Mr. Sinha sparked a debate on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday after he praised the Gujarat government for introducing Volvo 9600 buses worth ₹2 crore in the state transport fleet.
While the post was intended to glorify the BJP-led Gujarat government’s initiative, it quickly backfired as netizens pointed out that multiple states, particularly Karnataka, have had Volvo buses in their transport fleet for decades.
Soon after the tweet, several users trolled Mr. Sinha for what they called an uninformed and politically motivated claim. Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) was particularly highlighted by users, who reminded him that Karnataka was the first transport corporation in India to introduce Volvo buses in the early 2000s.
One user sarcastically responded, "This Bauna Sinha lives in his own world of fake propaganda and misinformation. Punjab launched such buses 1.5 years ago as soon as AAP came to power." Another pointed out, "Kolkata has had Volvo buses since 2013-14. Odisha had placed the biggest order for multi-axle Volvo 9600 series buses."
Many users schooled Sinha, reminding him that KSRTC operates Airavata and Ambari luxury Volvo services, considered among the best in India. "You haven’t seen KSRTC and BMTC Volvos. One of the best in the country," wrote a user, while another added, "Karnataka was the first state transport corporation to buy Volvos. Come to Bangalore and see for yourself."
Users also pointed out that Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi already operate similar Volvo buses, further dismantling Mr. Sinha’s claim that Gujarat was unique in its transport infrastructure. "If you sit in the darkest of dark holes and keep supporting political parties, you will end up asking such questions," a user taunted, criticizing the blind political narrative being pushed.
The incident once again showcased how politically motivated propaganda on social media often gets fact-checked and countered by well-informed netizens. While Gujarat’s Volvo 9600 buses may be a good addition to the state’s transport network, the attempt to portray it as an exclusive achievement did not go as planned for the right-wing sympathizer.
This is the Gujarat State Roadways bus... Volvo 9600 worth ₹2 crore.

Ajit Pawar's demise very shocking: PM Modi
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the death of Maharasthra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash was untimely and very shocking.
In a post on X, Modi said Ajit Pawar was a leader of the people with a strong grassroots level connect.
Pawar, 66, and four other persons were killed after an aircraft carrying them crashed near his hometown Baramati in Pune district on Wednesday morning, officials said.
"Shri Ajit Pawar Ji was a leader of the people, having a strong grassroots level connect. He was widely respected as a hardworking personality at the forefront of serving the people of Maharashtra.
"His understanding of administrative matters and passion for empowering the poor and downtrodden were also noteworthy. His untimely demise is very shocking and saddening. Condolences to his family and countless admirers. Om Shanti," Modi said.
