In an unexpected turn of events, Uttar Pradesh Animal Husbandry Minister Dharampal Singh Saini made headlines as he drove his luxurious VVIP Toyota Fortuner car onto the platform of the Lucknow Railway Station. This incident occurred when the minister ran late for his scheduled train to Bareilly. The sight of a VVIP SUV on a railway platform naturally caused quite a stir among the onlookers.
Race Against Time
The urgency of catching his train led Minister Saini to take this unconventional step, bypassing traditional parking procedures. As the clock was ticking, he brought his Fortuner car directly onto the platform rather than parking it in the designated area. This unusual move resulted in chaos and surprise at the Lucknow Railway Station.
Viral Video Sparks Outrage
Unsurprisingly, a video capturing this incident quickly went viral on various social media platforms. The public reacted swiftly and critically, with many expressing displeasure at the minister’s actions. Social media was abuzz with comments condemning the VVIP treatment and the disregard for railway regulations.
Escalator Entry
After driving his Fortuner onto the platform, Minister Dharampal Singh Saini made an unconventional yet memorable entrance by taking the escalator down from his car. His destination: platform number 4, where he intended to catch the Howrah Amritsar Express train. This departure from the ordinary added to the intrigue of the situation.
