My Life Is In His Hands Every Day: BJP MLA Ganesh Chandra Chauhan
According to a report by Aaj Tak, MLA Ganesh Chandra Chauhan said, "Vipin Maurya is our driver. Yesterday was his wedding, and after performing the 'Dwar Puja' (traditional wedding ritual), I personally drove his wedding procession to the venue. He is our trusted driver, and my life is in his hands every day. But yesterday, as he was beginning a new chapter in his life, I felt I should take the wheel. So, I drove."
This isn’t the first instance of such a gesture. Two years ago, a similar heartwarming example was set in the Banda district of Uttar Pradesh by Collector Anurag Patel, who was widely praised for his act. On the retirement of his official driver, Imtiazuddin Khan, Patel ensured the farewell was memorable. The District Magistrate personally drove Khan to his home in a car decorated with garlands, with Khan seated in the official's chair.
To honour Khan, Patel adorned him with a floral garland, presented a memento, and extended his best wishes. The farewell gesture stunned everyone who witnessed it, showcasing the humility and respect Patel held for his long-time driver.
