After Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw Tuesday announced that Kerala’s first Vande Bharat Express would be launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 25, Thiruvananthapuram MP and senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor Wednesday said that he was delighted to hear the news and retweeted one of his posts from last year where he had taken a jibe at the Kerala government’s Silverline project and stated that the Vande Bharat trains could be a substitute to them.
“Recalling my tweets of fourteen months ago suggesting #VandeBharat trains for Kerala. Delighted that @AshwiniVaishnaw has done just that. Looking forward to attending @narendramodi’s flagging off of the first train from Thiruvananthapuram on 25th.
