Many other Twitter users trolled the minister and called him out saying that the video was an edited version.

This weekend, railways minister Piyush Goyal tweeted a video of Train 18, or Vande Bharat Express, barrelling through a railway station. According to Goyal, the train was "zooming past at lightning speed".

"It's a bird...It's a plane...Watch India's first semi-high speed train built under 'Make in India' initiative, Vande Bharat Express zooming past at lightening speed (sic)," Piyush Goyal said in his tweet. In the 'lightening speed' that he composed his tweet at, Goyal ended up making a typo too.

However, users on Twitter suspected that the video posted by Goyal was doctored to show Train 18, formally known as Vande Bharat Express, running faster than its actual speed.

The Congress party was among the first ones who trolled the railways minister on Twitter.

"The only thing travelling at lightning speed are Mr 'Ghotala's' lies," the Congress said.

Goyal's tweet also invited flak from other Opposition leaders.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) spokesperson Derek O'Brien tweeted, "#Cheat Exhibit 420".

The Indian Youth Congress' (IYC) national campaign in-charge, Srivatsa, said, "Piyush Goyal ji, enough of your Jumlas...You have again proved that all that the Modi government can do is gimmicks."

Piyush Goyal ji, enough of your Jumlas. This video has been edited to play in fast forward mode. You have again proved that all that the Modi Govt can do is gimmicks.



Even Shatabdhi, with such editing will look as fast. https://t.co/09rkYg0SH6 Srivatsa (@srivatsayb) February 10, 2019

Congress spokesperson Khushbu Sundar also took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, "Tch tch tch...how much more will the BJP will stoop...truth is not your cup of tea..PM ji should know better Na??"

Tch tch tch..how much more the BJP will stoop..Piyush ji this is digital India, dream of #RajivGandhiji..if you increase the frame speed it will clearly give away as it does here..don’t try too hard..truth is not your cup of tea..PM ji should know better Na?? https://t.co/HbBTPcGUiz Khushbu Sundar..

Many other Twitter users trolled Goyal and called him out saying that the video was an edited version.

One user said, "Watch India's first semi-literate PM built under 'Fool in India' initiative, 'Feku Express' zooming away at lightening speed. India heaves a collective sigh of relief. (sic)"

While a user called Piyush Goyal "Phekugoyal ji", another user said, "Massive respect for Piyush Goyal. He just made the Video 2X times faster and called it Semi-High Speed Train when he could have made it 6X times faster and called it Super High Speed Train."

Mocking Piyush Goyal, a user said, "Bhai aap negative logo ki chinta mat Karo unko Bailgadi mein hi mazza aata hai [Don't worry about the negative people, they only like the bullock cart]."

Another user called Piyush Goyal "Mr Gol" and said,"What you shared is your fate in coming General Elections. You guys will vanish from people's memory the same way."

The Vande Bharat Express, which was earlier called the Train 18, is regarded as a successor to Shatabdi Express. The fully air-conditioned train is set to run between Delhi and Varanasi at a maximum speed of 160 kmph.
