In separate news, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticised the Southern Railway after a group of students allegedly sang an RSS-related song during the inauguration of the Ernakulam–Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express on Saturday. Vijayan termed the act a “serious violation of constitutional values,” questioning why a government institution would include such a song at an official event. He also condemned the decision to post the video on social media, accusing the Railways of promoting communal ideology. Following public backlash, the Southern Railway reportedly deleted the post. Vijayan said the Railways, once a secular national symbol, is being misused for political motives.
