NEW DELHI: At a time when people are queued up outside banks and ATMs and ready to spend the night under the open sky -- because they need money which is constantly running short all across the country, a BJP legislator from Maharashtra has given a Mercedes car to his son as a birthday gift.

“#HappyBirthdayto my dearest son @AumRKadam !!! This my loving gift for him,” Ram Kadam, the MLA from Ghatkopar West, wrote on twitter while flaunting the expensive gift.


As soon as Kadam, who was earlier with Raj Thackeray's party MNS, tweeted the photo, the micro-blogging website users started raising their concern. Many questioned the source of Kadam's income while others asked whether his son, who appears to be a minor, would be eligible to drive or not.

“BJP MLA giving his minor kid a Mercedes on his birthday and putting it on Twitter ! Big brother is watching,” Harsh Goenka, chairman of the RPG Enterprises, tweeted.
