Following attacks on the recently launched Vande Bharat Express, West Bengal minister Udayan Guha alleged that a normal train was renamed as Vande Bharat train and a high-speed train's fare is being charged. "If it's...high-speed train then why [is it] taking eight hours from Howrah to New Jalpaiguri. Don't use people's money for painting...normal train as Vande Bharat," he added.
