Luxury car models are popular among highly qualified professionals to celebrate their esteemed designation. Lavish Toyota models are popular with ministers in Karnataka who shell out whooping amounts to ministers; the result is 30 Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV).  The price of each car is Rs 14 lakhs, this is an astonishing figure since Indian’s are familiar with the lackluster approach of most politicians in India, and the scene is not very attractive in Karnataka.

 

The ex chief minister of Karnataka Jagadish Shettar has maintained his cars in a pristine condition; he belongs to BJP party, and the state has rolled out cars for ministers. Interestingly Karnataka has bought cars mainly for BJP ministers, and to the amazement of those who support Congress, the ministers of BJP have stated that Congress do not hold impressive positions to obtain cars from state. The Congress has also won majority votes during the May month.

This issue has reached the media, with NDTV a popular news channel in India actually counting the models and found 8 Innova cars, 9 Altis cars and posh brands from other firms as well with Chevrolet Forester and Renault Fluence.  The department in charge of issuing cars to ministers is the ‘Department Of Personnel and Administrative Reforms’ the representatives of the department have announced that this is a regulation scheme where fresh cars have to be released during parliamentary shuffling. Each and every minister order cars and their tastes do not seem to vary. One of the representatives from the department has stated that the only politician who desired a different car structure is Siddaramaiah the present ‘Chief Minister’.

The ministers in Karnataka state seem to have the authority to live a luxurious life; the ministers have the right to request for fresh cars, if the warranty period of their cars is terminated after covering more than 1,000,000 kms or 3 years. Ministers of BJP bought cars for Rs 10 lakhs and Congress Rs 16 lakhs.

The past three years witnessed BJP power in Karnataka, when a new minister comes into play, a fresh car will arrive, Sadananda Gowda and Yeddyurappa desired to own CRV model of Honda. The sole person who did not make car requests was Shettar. The acquirement of cars by ministers is a surprising factor, and this would certainly startle the public as to why ministers are acquiring cars like wild fire compared to the hard working citizens of India. Deve Gowda the ex Chief Minister of Karnataka requested for a sturdy and tall car and his wish was granted and he bought a Fortuner car built by Toyota.

An interesting question here would be the condition of worn out cars used by Ministers, and these might be used to transport ministers. Most people are aware about the chaotic parliamentary processes in India, hence the free flow of cars for ministers in Karnataka is surprising, with some of them involved in illegal activities. The lack of work performed by these ministers is evident with the unsatisfactory road conditions in Bangalore, which makes life tough for hard working individuals who reach their residences during peak dark hours.
