Minister Kapil Mishra takes Metro
Delhi Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra on Wednesday travelled by Metro, as he vowed to use only public transport or one official vehicle when required, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s austerity push.
Mishra said Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and all her cabinet ministers had started implementing the prime minister’s appeal with commitment.
“I will use public transport or only one government vehicle when necessary,” he said.
The development comes a day after Gupta on X announced restrictions on the use of official vehicles by ministers, party MLAs, and other public representatives in the national capital.
