Former Delhi BJP president and Rajya Sabha member Vijay Goel on Monday violated the odd-even rules following which he was fined Rs 2,000 by the traffic police. The BJP leader was also fined an additional Rs 1,500 for driving without licence and vehicle insurance.
City transport minister Gopal Rai had urged Mr Goel to desist from violating the odd-even rule as it would send a “wrong message” to the others. “I ask-ed him to raise his voice in Parliament or Jantar Man-tar, but he violated the odd-even scheme. It appears he is also against the rule of carrying driving licence and insurance papers while driving,” he said.
Mr Goel, who was fined for driving an odd-numbered car on the even date, was also fined Rs 1,500 for not showing his driving licence and vehicle insurance.
Mr Goel was challaned near Raisina Road, on his way to Parliament. On Friday, Mr Goel had announced that he would violate odd-even rules on Monday in protest against huge expenditure incurred by the AAP government on advertisements, regarding the scheme and for its political posturing.
