Bihar lawmakers refuse to remove red beacons from vehicles

Patna, May 1 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): Bihar ruling party lawmaker Bhai Birendra has refused to remove red beacon from his car saying he was bound by the rules of the state government.

Birendra who is from Lalu Prasad’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), made this declaration on Monday.

“I won’t follow the order of the Union government. I will abide by the rules of the state government only,” he told the media on Monday.

Another ruling party leader and education minister Ashok Chaudhary who hails from the Congress party too condemned the Centre’s move to ban the red beacon.

“I don’t know why the people are after red beacon. VIP culture doesn’t include only red beacon but also blocking road traffic for an hour for the President and the PM,” Chaudhary said.

He said the Prime Minister perhaps wanted to take credit for ending VIP culture by carrying out only “superficial surgery”.

Quite many other ruling party lawmakers made similar observations saying they would remove the red beacon only after a notification to this effect is issued by the state government.

The Union Cabinet at its meeting held last month banned red beacon from today (May 1) in a bid to end VIP culture.

“Every Indian is special, every Indian is a VIP,” is how PM Narendra Modi says.
