Nice symbolic gesture but honestly, how much fuel does one bus save compared to the cavalcade of security vehicles that still follow? We need real policy changes, not photo-ops. Still, kudos for raising awareness among public. 👏
The wheat procurement record is the real news here! 103 lakh metric tonnes is incredible. MP's farmers have done us proud. Hope the payments reach them on time without middlemen issues. 🙏🌾
Great to see a CM actually travel by public transport. Hope other leaders also follow PM Modi's appeal. West Asia crisis is real and we need to reduce our oil import dependence. Small steps like carpooling and using buses can make a big difference.
Impressive procurement numbers from MP. As someone who works in agri-business, seeing 103 lakh MT from 13.36 lakh farmers shows strong administrative execution. The bus thing is nice PR but the wheat story is the real achievement. Well done, CM Yadav.
"When intentions are strong, even the biggest goals seem small" - nice quote from CM. But actions speak louder than words. Let's see sustained efforts on fuel conservation, not just one-off events. Also important to ensure wheat procurement is transparent. 🤔
