In a post on X (previously called Twitter), the 2024 National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer asked:

The men who called JDM incompetent can't even get their team to conduct a track inspection before a test run of the new train. That should be basic routine. Shocking!

@KWASICITIZEN22 said:

So you’re here supporting this unpatriotic act, why should a vehicle be on that track in the first place? Who put it there ? That should be the question to ask.

A simply drone ahead of the train would have done it if you were even feeling lazy. I believe this is just a ploy to hide a very big disgraceful defect on that train . May time reveal the truth.
