Its a step in the right direction with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal deciding that he and his Ministers will neither use the red beacon nor those police escort jeeps.
On March 9th last year after his much publicized swearing in ceremony on SAG grounds at Campal, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had similarly announced that he would never ever use those police escort jeeps. But that promise like most of his other tall promises were meant to be broken with Manohar Parrikar in a U turn soon deciding to use two police escort jeeps besides a huge posse of policemen guarding his official and private residences. All these policemen could have instead been deployed on the streets of Goa to curb the very high levels of crime that the State is currently engulfed in with even the ruling party MLA Vishnu Wagh recently manhandled and his vehicle damaged in a dastardly attack allegedly masterminded by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar himself. There is no point faking to be an Aam Aadmi, as deeds speak louder than words. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar should bury his ego and shun his very high levels of arrogance by emulating Arvind Kejriwal in ensuring that he along with his ministers besides other government officials also stop flashing the red beacon.
