As Delhi Rolled Out The Odd Even Plan, This Is How Its Ministers Went To Work

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal decided to teach by example on the first day of the odd-even road rationing plan in Delhi and his cabinet colleagues followed in his footsteps.

While Kejriwal himself car-pooled to work with Home Minister Satyendar Jain and Transport Minister Gopal Rai, other AAP leaders too took out their two-wheelers or shared a car to reach the Secretariat.

Delhi's experimental odd-even road rotation plan kicked in at 8 AM on 1 January 2016, with civil defence volunteers assisting the Traffic Police. The plan is to be implemented on an experimental basis for the next 15 days.

A true leader leads by example. Citizens are bound to follow, even their CM is carpooling.

It definitely looked like Rai had a good time taking the bus for a part of his journey, interacting with the people and the media.

But that's not all. The opposition also sportingly took a part in Delhi's struggle to keep its environment clean, with BJP MP Vijay Goel and his entourage riding bicycles to work.
