Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, calling them a “double blunder” instead of a “double engine” government.

The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister shared a post on his official social media account on ‘X’ with a news item on the Vande Bharat train incident: “Rasta bhatak gayi Vande Bharat’ – jana tha Goa, nikal gayi Kalyan” (Vande Bharat lost its way , was supposed to go to Goa but ended up in Kalyan).

Along with the image of the train’s news, Yadav wrote, “The BJP is not a ‘double engine’ government, but a ‘double blunder’ government.” In the same post, he remarked, “BJP has even derailed the country’s engine onto the wrong track.” The CSMT-Madgaon Vande Bharat express train deviated from its regular route on Monday morning due to a technical snag at Diva station in Thane district of Maharashtra, delaying its onward journey to Goa by 90 minutes, officials said.

Instead of proceeding towards Panvel station on the Diva-Panvel railway line used by Konkan-bound trains, the express train took the Kalyan route.
