Why jealous about me if I use zero traffic service: DCM
Bengaluru, September 26: “Normally, there will be zero traffic service for VVIPs like Chief Minister, Prime Minister, President and others. In the same way, the Home Minister also has that service. So, I have used that service. Why jealous about it”, asked Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar.
The DCM arrived using zero traffic service for the Field Marshal Cariappa statue unveiling programme organized by the Kodava Samaj and BBMP in the city on Wednesday. When media people asked the DCM about it, he said that the Home Minister also has facility and he has used it. In the previous government, then Home Minister refused to use the zero traffic service. But he has not availed that service freshly. He has used the existing service, he justified.
“I would regret if the zero traffic caused any inconvenience to the general public. As I have several programmes and meetings, I have been using the service as I have to maintain the timings. I have instructed the police to take maximum care to avoid traffic congestion during zero traffic service”, he said.
