Union Minister Jyotraditya Scindia on Thursday said that he was against the use of red beacon atop official vehicles as it widens the gap between people and their representatives.
He said media, "I do not use the red beacon light either in New Delhi or elsewhere." The red beacon light widens the distance between the people and their representatives. "Though I consider it as a small thing, it is important," he said.
He also suggested that if Congress came to power in Madhya Pradesh, where Assembly elections are to be held later this year, the party would try to ensure that nobody puts up red beacon on vehicles. However, at the end, he told that red beacon atop official vehicle, but it is not used.
