The official Twitter handle of Indian National Congress on 5th of June tweeted a video which showed the member of INC Bhakta Charan Das where he expressed his grief on the recent train accident which took many lives. Bhakta Charan Das can be seen saying in the video posted “Such a train accident has never happened in the past. Hundreds of people lost their lives and more than a thousand people were injured. This incident has hurt everyone. Thousands of people have canceled their tickets after the accident. They feel that traveling in the train is not safe.

The very next day of Congress tweeting the video, IRCTC dismantled the lie Congress tried to propagate. Quote retweeting the tweet done by Congress party official Twitter handle, IRCTC wrote “This is factually incorrect. Cancellations have not increased. On the contrary, cancellations have reduced from 7.7 Lakh on 01.06.23 to 7.5 Lakh on 03.06.23.” The IRCTC made clear that the cancellations have been reduced contrary of what Congress said. This dismantled the lie Congress tried to propagate.
