AAP effect: Raje says no to luxurious CM bungalow

January 07, 2014 09:46

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje seems to have taken a leaf out of her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal's book -- cutting down on her security and turning down a luxurious residence.

Raje, who had been at the receiving end of the opposition parties for her upscale lifestyle during her previous tenure, has now scaled down her security by half, promised to stop at red lights with common commuters and said no to the luxurious chief ministerial bungalow, sources close to her said.

A few days back, she had asked the state's Director General of Police (DGP) Omendra Bhardwaj to scale down her security.

"In her directions, she asked the police chief to depute the hundreds of policemen, who would be relieved of her security duty, in service of the common men," a senior police officer said.
