Bhopal: In yet another incident of VVIP racism, Madhya Pradesh sports minister’s car was allowed to drive onto the railway platform in the presence of police for a bizarre reason.
Reportedly, the car was allowed to enter the railway platform, in clear violation of rules, so as to ensure that Madhya Pradesh sports minister Yashodhara Raje Scindia won’t have to walk to the gates after deboarding the train.
The incident was caught on camera. Interestingly, a signboard on the gate at the railway platform clearly says that trespassers would be fined Rs 500 for violating rules, as per the video.

As per reports, when it was brought to the notice of the state Sports Minister that her car had trespassed at the railway station, she said that she was not aware of the rules. According to sources, no action has been taken against the authorities for allowing a car to drive onto the platform.
Last week, a man, claiming to be relative of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, got involved in an altercation with the police after violating traffic rules in Bhopal.
