Food and Civil Supplies Minister UT Khader Refuses To Remove Red Beacon From His Car
After the government banned red beacons from cars, the Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Minister refuses to adhere.
The Modi government recently put a full stop to the VIP culture in India by banning red beacons on cars, allowing only blue beacons for emergency services vehicles. Most politicians, including the Tamil Nadu CM and the AAP government in Delhi, followed the rule.
Exceptions are there though, as the Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah was reluctant initially, and now, the Food and Civil Supplies Minister, UT Khader is in no mood to remove the beacon.
He said he would do so only if the Chief Minister asks him to do so. He quoted, "If the Chief Minister asks me to remove the red beacon, I will obey his instruction and remove it." He said since the state government has given him the vehicle, he has no rights to alter the car.
Speaking about the central government, Khader said the aim of the government should be to bring the common man to the level of VIPs if the VIP culture should end. He said, "It's not that I am moving around with the red beacon on my head. It is installed on my car."
"I am not saying no, but most importantly it should introduce schemes wherein it is possible to fill the stomachs of people and provide education," he added.
DriveSpark Thinks! The move to end VIP culture in India is a good move but has to be implemented right. With individual politicians deciding what's right, India can never take the necessary leap towards success.
