Madhya Pradesh Energy Minister Pradhuman Singh Tomar on Tuesday made a controversial statement regarding the surging fuel prices in the country, saying riding bicycles will keep us healthy and curb pollution.
Talking to the media, Tomar said, “Who uses petrol and diesel? Do we go to the vegetable market by cycle? It will keep us healthy and will end pollution. Is petrol and diesel necessary for our health?”
Tomar also stated, “I did this for myself too. If you pick up my diary for 30 days, you will know how many days I walk, go in a car or on a cycle”.
