New Delhi: BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra has claimed that out of the 1,000 buses provided by Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s office to ferry migrant workers in Uttar Pradesh, many are ambulances, cars, autos and scooters.

Patra Tuesday tweeted: “Priyanka Vadra’s list of so-called buses…some of those vehicles are ‘unfit’… some are ambulances, some are cars, others are tractors and scooters.”

He also provided a list of six registration numbers, which he claimed were not of buses. Patra’s tweet has been shared 16,100 times and received 53,700 likes so far.

The tweet also came after Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Kumar Lallu and Vadra’s secretary were booked by police Tuesday for “forgery” after the state government said the list of 1,000 buses contained registration numbers of auto rickshaws, cars and trucks.

Fact check

Using Vahan, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ website, ThePrint verified all the six registration numbers shared by Patra in his tweet. While Patra was right about three of the vehicles, it was found that the rest of the three were buses.

Patra’s tweet had claimed that ‘RJ27PA9852’ was an ambulance. However, the website indicates that it is a bus.

Similarly, Patra maintained that ‘RJ40PA 0186’ was a three-wheeler. However, the records show that this particular vehicle is also a bus.

The vehicle with registration number ‘RJ40PA 0123’, which Patra said is an “AUTO RICSHA”, was also found to be a bus.

ThePrint reached out to Patra for a comment. However, calls and texts to him went unanswered.

  1. The print acting like loyal sycophants of INC – as usual. They can write an entire article “fact checking ” minor errors . But cant write an article bashing Congress and its’s dynasts for jumlebazi even amongst corona- first “Train ticket jumla” from Antonia ,now it’s “1000bus jumla ” from her daughter with photo op session of the brother with few migrants in between . Maybe someone needs to put out a tweet consisting of fake news blatantly spread by The print , with the failed agenda of maligning Current dispensation at any cost. The print was conceived in the yr 2015 for this sole purpose of being Vadra Congress’s fake news factory and it’s 2020 – it’s miserably failing. 99%indians don’t read it ..it’s the staple of those Lutyens gang ,pro Cong urban elites ,2bhk type compromised journos , JNU gangsz urban naxals and all those hawks and vultures sitting in USA,UK looking for some fodder from India to prey upon its Central gov. All of them constitute 1% of India . And S varad Babu gets awarded by Deutsche welle for exactly this – ANTI BJP PROPAGANDA which often turns into ANTI INDIA one. Latest anti India article being the one on Nepal map misadventure today. Lol. Die in shame

  2. Please allow the rest of the vehicles for help.
    There are some mistakes,
    But it is not the time to criticise or poltice the issue.

  3. when people are in dire need of transportation what matters a bus or van.If auto allow two to go.Rakshasas

    • Brain dead Tamil here , with pathetic logic and desperation to defend Vadra Congress no matter what? If this isn’t a scam- a jumla, I’m sorry u guys are losing the moral authority to question BJP for any so called scam like 20lakh scam .this sort of one sided sycophancy is not helping Vadra Congress thambi. Wake up. Sauce for goose is sauce for gander. Don’t be hypocrite

      • WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY BRAIN DEAD TAMIL. INSTEAD OF CRITICISING THE HELP BEING RENDERED BY WHOMSOEVER LEARN TO APPRECIATE. THE LIKES OF YOU WHO HAS HATRED RUNNING IN HIS BLOOD IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC INDIAN. SHAME ON YOU. HAVE YOU LIFTED ONE HAND TO HELP THESE MIGRANTS -. HYPOCRITE U ARE

    • But u don’t have a word to utter against the monumental #1000buses scam of Babli , just cz ur dead brain doesn’t allow u to scrutinize Congress – ur go to party during national elections. Haha. Keep on with this blind hatred. It helps us – hindus – unite , as it also exposes the IQ level of Madrassa chhaps.

  4. Did you reach out to Priyanka Vadra to see why the other 3 were right? Wake up to your lean left approach that finds fault with everything this government does that has people backing. By doing this repeatedly your credibility is in the toilet to say the least.

  5. The BJP is revealing its true colors to the masses – – that of the heartless rulers. They just have NO compassion or empathy for the poor migrants. So what if all 1000 were not buses? Even if they were 916 or 841, where was the harm in pressing them into service as quickly as possible?
    It’s silly even on the part of the Congress. What was so grand about the round figure of a thousand? They should have frankly admitted that they have been able to arrange for 950 odd or whatever was the correct figure, and would send the remaining buses soon.

    • Yeah sycophants never question their prince / princess/ king / queen/ master / mistress. U r one of those sycophants who are ready to accept 916 or 840 buses in the name of 1000 buses but the same frustrated lackeys like u would say “Oh come on , 20 lakh crore package is an eyewash , actually it’s 8lakh crore”
      Getting the level of double standards and hypocrisy, butthead ??

      • No one is now a prince or princess. Your slavish hangover is still not over. Judge a person by her/his work or fairness of arguments. Period. This is not the age for blind loyalties.

  6. even if 50% of it is correct, why is it even so? and is it that only these 3 vehicles have been mistakenly added or there are others too?
    when the fact check is being done, why not give a complete picture?
