Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Jhansi, Jawahar L. Rajpoot, chose an unusual mode of transportation to arrive at the Uttar Pradesh assembly on Monday. He came on a bullock cart all the way to the gates of the assembly. While the bullock cart was operated by the owner, he claimed that he was not given the promised amount by the MLA for the service, according to the reports.
He was restricted by the authorities before entering the Lucknow assembly complex, but later he managed to enter after a brief chat.
This is not the first lawmaker to choose different modes of transportation apart from their usual VIP convoy.

Last year, Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan arrived in Parliament on an orange Harley-Davidson motorcycle to make a statement on Women’s Day.
A year before, BJP MP Arjun Ram Meghwal rode a bicycle to attend the Budget Session.
Meghwal said he was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to reduce carbon emission and chose to cycle at least for one day every week.
