The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday claimed that the Centre’s decision of barring the use of red beacons atop vehicles was “inspired” by its Ministers who do not use the facility, and termed the move as a “half-decision” toward ending the VIP culture.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that the Centre should also withdraw the security cover being provided to Union Ministers, as has been done by the AAP Government in Delhi.
Seeking to end the VIP culture prevailing in the country, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday decided that beacon lights will be removed from all vehicles, including that used by the Prime Minister and the President, from May 1.
