Humans grounded, cars fly
Taking a dig at the Congressâs austerity programme, a DMK minister in a public speech pointed out that for Rahul Gandhiâs three-day visit to Tamil Nadu, the SPG had flown down 12 bulletproof cars from Delhi in the cargo of an Air Force plane. Rahulâs busy programme meant visiting several towns in a chopper and for his road travel in each town he had to have the cars ready in advance. The minister wondered why the SPG could not have commandeered bulletproof vehicles from the state.
