Last month, a video of a Bengaluru auto driver breaking down due to low earnings had gone viral.
The widely-circulated clip was in Kannada but the caption clearly stated as to what they were talking about. In the video it was claimed that the autorickshaw driver was affected by the free bus rides given by the Congress government in Karnataka.
In the video, the driver could be heard saying he made only Rs 40 in 5 hours working from 8 am to 1 pm as he did not have many passengers.
"A Bengaluru auto driver in tears after collecting just Rs 40/- from 8 am to 1 pm. This is the result of free bus rides given by the new Cong govt in Karnataka. Pushing people into poverty," read the caption of the post shared by Twitter user Zavier.
