Uttar Pradesh: During the current crisis where millions of migrant laborers or either stranded or displaced, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra offered 1000 buses to UP govt to help Migrant laborers reach home safely. After she wrote a letter to UP govt on 16th May, UP govt asked her to provide details of 1000 buses along with driver names.

A rumor started spreading over social media that many of those buses on the list provided by UP congress are Ambulance,auto-rickshaws (three-wheelers), cars, and bikes.

Sambit Patra tweeted a list of such vehicles with their registration numbers, vehicle model and type. The tweet went viral over social media with over 16000 RT, 54K likes, and over 10K comments.
