Chandigarh: After a deluge of sarcastic comments on social media over his 'cattle class' trip to Chennai and Hyderabad, Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal on Tuesday decided to dump the austerity policy and opted for a private chartered flight for an official tour to Mumbai.
Sukhbir's media adviser and minister of state rank officer Jangveer Singh had on September 20 posted on Facebook pictures of his boss travelling in 'economy class' during the official trip to Chennai and Hyderabad. The snaps immediately drew a lot of snubs, some calling it a sham and a deliberate public relations exercise. A few compared the deputy CM's trip to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's night stay at a village in Behrampur in 2013.
