Even as numerous people are fined on a daily basis for violating the odd-even rule which is currently in its second phase, politicians from the capital of the country seem to be paving their own ways for commuting. We had earlier reported how popular actor and MP Paresh Rawal was caught flouting the odd-even rule set by the Delhi government for a period of 15 days.

It has now emerged that two other MP’s from the BJP have made their own pollution free arrangements to bypass the odd-even rule that is underway in order to reduce the rising levels of pollution in the capital. While BJP MP Ram Prasad Sharma made his way to the parliament on a horse, popular Bhojpuri actor Manoj Tiwari chose to ride down to the parliament on a bicycle.
A placard tied with a rope on the neck of the horse allegedly read “Pollution Free Vehicle” as a means to protest against the odd-even rule. The MP’s chose to make their own ways to reach the parliament even as a dedicated bus for parliament members reportedly rode empty. The service was later scrapped due to the poor response. Sharma was reported demanding a car for the members or allowing the MP’s to be exempted from the rule which will continue in the region for 3 more days.
