WEBDESK: Madhya Pradesh’s government was left red-faced after 19 vehicles from Indian CM’s convoy broke down, all thanks to a generous dose of water mixed in the diesel. The convoy, making a routine stop for refuelling, unknowingly filled up at a petrol pump where the diesel was allegedly contaminated.
In Indian CM’s convoy, some vehicles managed to leave the station but stalled embarrassingly along the highway, while others couldn’t even move from the pump. What followed was an unplanned roadside spectacle as 19 cars had to be towed away one after another, turning the convoy into a source of public amusement.
A quick check with the fuel station staff confirmed what the engines already knew the diesel was tainted. Local authorities immediately sealed the petrol pump and collected fuel samples for testing. Officials later announced that a detailed inquiry had been launched, promising action against the filling station if negligence is proven. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav was not in any of the affected vehicles at the time, narrowly spared the humiliation of witnessing his own convoy come to a standstill.
The embarrassing episode has raised fresh questions about basic service standards in the country, where even Indian CM’s convoy isn’t safe from poor quality fuel. Ordinary citizens face such issues regularly, but the system only seems to act when VIP cars break down.
The incident spread rapidly online, with many mocking Indian CM’s convoy and treating the incident as a well-deserved spectacle. Social media was flooded with jokes, memes and sarcastic remarks, as people expressed shock over how such a blunder could happen to Indian CM’s convoy. While some laughed at the absurdity, others called it fitting punishment for a corrupt class of politicians they accused of theft and neglect. For them, this embarrassing breakdown was nothing short of poetic justice.
