JAMMU: Dressed in a white ‘pheran’ (closed gown), BJP legislator Surinder Ambardar today drove a two-wheeler from his residence at Bohri here to the State legislature, sending a clear message against ‘VIP culture’ and traffic chaos in the city.
A video showing the member of State council taking the ride sans any cavalcade has gone viral on social media, with many hailing the BJP leader, while others termed it a “publicity stunt”.
“I rode on a scooty to send a message that we should shun the VIP culture. Also, it can be a solution to the traffic chaos in the city,” Ambardar told reporters outside the State legislature here.
“Let all the legislators, important persons, politicians, bureaucrats and even ministers use two-wheelers once or twice a week, to give respite to public from traffic problems caused by VIP culture”, he said. (AGENCIES)
