Only escort, pilot vehicles for CM's car; people should not be blocked: Satheesan
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): One of the first decisions taken by Kerala Chief Minister-designate V D Satheesan after being picked for the post was to limit his convoy to three vehicles, in contrast to his predecessor’s large motorcade that had drawn criticism from various quarters.
According to party sources, Satheesan has directed that only a pilot and escort vehicle should accompany his official car and people on the road should not be blocked while he travels.
His decision is a major shift from the VIP culture of ministers as well as the huge motorcade of more than 10 vehicles that was seen when Pinarayi Vijayan used to travel.
Even former Kerala CM Oommen Chandy also did not have a huge motorcade like that of Vijayan.
