After Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared pictures of saffron and white-coloured Vande Bharat Express, Congress leader Pawan Khera said, "My country's flag has three colours. 'Doranga' (Two-coloured) won't be accepted." Notably, Vaishnaw had said the new colour of the train is inspired by the Indian flag. The train didn't appear to have the colour green as in the Tricolour.
