On September 26, 2026, videos went viral on social media, exposing the subpar condition of newly flagged buses under Madhya Pradesh's Mukhyamantri Sugam Parivahan Seva scheme. The buses, redecorated with saffron radium strips, appeared fresh but were marred by peeling radium, poor steering maintenance, faulty brakes, and rusted areas around the driver's seat.
Congress leader Jitu Patwari shared a video on X showing the peeling radium, captioning it, "The color of corruption has faded away in just a few hours!" Another Instagram post revealed the buses covered in radium strips, adorned with flowers for a new look, while also pointing out issues like scratch marks on the front glass. Critics questioned the government's spending on paint and dents while neglecting proper maintenance, with lakhs and crores of rupees reportedly invested in the scheme.
