BJP Govt Not To Implement Motor Vehicle Act Fines In Maharashtra

The hefty penalties imposed under the new Motor Vehicles Act (MVA) are "blatantly anti-people" and have the potential to spur suicides, said the Maharashtra farmers panel chief warned here on Wednesday.

Kishore Tiwari, Chairman of Vasantrao Naik Sheti Swavalamban Mission (VNSSM), who enjoys a Cabinet minister rank in Maharashtra, said: "The financial penalties have been opposed by all people in the country, especially the middle-class. From all accounts we are hearing and reading in the media, it is turning out to be an anti-people move."
