Kerala MPs trip up on Kejriwal's Odd-Even rule

April 20, 2016 14:41

The Delhi government's Odd-Even plan has affected around 30 MPs from the south, especially MPs from Kerala.

The Kerala MPs have one car shared by at least three MPs when they are in Delhi. With the Odd-Even rule in force since April 14, these MPs have been facing huge problems getting around the capital city.

Enter union minister Nitin Gadkar.

It is now Gadkari's brainchild -- e-cars -- which have come to their rescue. These electric cars which run on lithium ion batteries do not emit smoke and are exempt from the odd-even rule.

The only problem is that these cars are not available easily and there is in fact an advance booking for them.
