Former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy made headlines for all the right reasons. The 72-Year-Old was seen travelling from Kottayam to Thiruvananthapuram in a sleeper-class of the Sabari Express despite his VVIP Status. There wasn't even any security and he just tried to be alike a common man.
Twitter hailed Oommen Chandy as the true leader. Mr. Chandy told he prefers travelling in public transport as that's how he reaches out to common man. This incident took place when top brass politicians across the Nation have been demanding VIP treatment in flights, trains and if possible everywhere.
Of course, This isn't the first time Oommen Chandy stepped out without security personnel. In May this year, He himself drove a bus to reach Thiruvananthapuram from Kollam for a political meeting instead of waiting for his convoy. He was the CM of Kerala then.
In Assembly polls held in May this year, Oommen Chandy faced a defeat. LDF's Pinarayi Vijayan is currently surfing as Kerala CM.
