Reports suggest that the village where the mishap occurred falls under the same constituency where the minister hails from. Police officials later reached the spot and completed all the formalities regarding the incident. Speaking to Hindustan Times, the minister said that he had seen the body on the road but could not stop as he was rushing to visit one of his relatives in Palampet who is said to have been in a critical condition at the time of the incident.
The minister was quoted saying that he was busy attending a call from a relative when he passed by the accident spot and under normal circumstances, he would have got down had it not been for the hurry. He also added that it wasn’t his lack of humanity as these people are from his constituency after all.
Looks like Mr Minister has forgotten all these vehicles he has are provided to serve the public!
