Newly appointed state
president and the former Union Minister, Mahendra Nath Pandey is under
controversy. When his cavalcade reached under toll passage during Agra visit,
none vehicles which followed him paid toll tax. As the correspondent asked
about the toll tax, Pandey was incensed and then he said, “I’m MP and am toll
free.”
A video tweeted by ANI:
Pandey can be seen speaking to correspondents, “did you have no other question?
When the correspondent asserted repeating their question, he said, “I’m MP, and
I’m toll free.”
Mahendra Nath Pandey was state HRD minister in Modi government.
Pandey has been recently appointed UP state BJP new president. He has taken
charge from UP deputy CM, Keshav Prasad Maurya.
It is noticeable that
Mr Pandey may be free of toll tax payment,
but none vehicles of the cavalcade paid toll tax there , which is
clearly violation of implemented rules and regulations; while the Union
government is serious about reform the taxation system.
