'Bus details sent by Congress includes two-wheelers & autos': UP Minister after inquiry

The list of buses given by the Congress to ferry migrants back home in Uttar Pradesh includes plenty of two-wheelers, autos and good carriers, said state's Cabinet Minister Sidharth Nath Singh on Tuesday. This comes after the BJP had levied similar allegations against the Congress earlier in the day. Speaking to media in Lucknow, Singh said, "We have done a preliminary inquiry and it has come to surface that out of the buses for which they sent details, many are turning out to be two-wheelers, autos and goods carriers. It is unfortunate."
