None of these articles support the assertion that this is a government vehicle. It could be a counterfeit with the HPC emblem and livery painted on to fool people and the police. Why else would an oil tanker have an opening on its side?

In addition, there is no proof of involvement of any government official or minister. Even if there is, it only indicates corruption, not an official sanction. The police wouldn't even be allowed to intercept the vehicle if there was such an official sanction.

I'm against the politics that the BJP represents. But we shouldn't be fighting them with misinformation. It will get easily debunked. And it will just convince the public that the BJP opponents are engaging in a misinformation campaign.

They have already taken electoral bond donations from beef exporting companies so they will be more than obliged to help out.

It is significantly complicated to create fake oil tankers instead of just using government help. And fake oil tankers will be easily caught because of number plates not matching, fake e-way bills.

Most of the time it's cow vigilantes who intercepted these vehicles and then call police.

Honest policemen are as rare as a four leaf Clover in India. They are happily doing BJP's bidding in whatever they please.

BJP leaders in south India and north east are promising good quality beef if they win elections.

They have no integrity.

It's not a hindu nationalist party anymore.

It has become a profit-focussed business with low to no morality.

That's why people like Brij Bhushan Singh are still in power.
