On December 14, Priyanka Gandhi shared a video showing "Adani Wilmar" written on the engine of a train. "The BJP government has put a stamp of its billionaire friend Adani on the Indian Railway, which was established through hard works of millions of people. Gradually, a large portion of railways will go to Modi ji's billionaire friends.

Priyanka Gandhi's Post:

Dismissing the claim as "misleading", PIB Fact Check tweeted: "Through a video on Facebook, it is being claimed that the Government of India has put stamps of a private company on the trains. This claim is misleading. This is is just a commercial advertisement with the aim of improving 'non-rental revenue'."

PIB Fact Check's Reaction:

Priyanka Gandhi has not deleted her post or reacted to the FIB Fact Check's tweet. The Congress party has also not reacted so far. Both Priyanka and her brother Rahul Gandhi has been opposing privatisation of the Indian Railways.
