Union Minister V Muraleedharan on Tuesday rejected the Congress’ allegations that the inaugural run of Kerala’s second Vande Bharat Express had turned into his own political campaign, saying people were welcoming the train at the stations and not him.
The Union Minister of State for External Affairs was responding to the allegations by Congress MP K Muraleedharan, who on Monday had said the train was stopped at the stations for more than the mandated time to enable him to accept the greetings of the BJP workers and supporters who had turned up there.
