GUWAHATI: Assam BJP president Bhabesh Kalita has reportedly said that the government will allow three-times on two-wheelers once the petrol price reaches Rs 200 per liter in the state.
During an event in Tamulpur he clarified his statement where he has said that people should avoid luxury cars and go for tripling on two wheelers to save fuel.
“I suggested that triple riding can be done only when the price of petrol reaches Rs 200 a litre. When it reaches Rs 200, we can take the permission of the government to allow three people in a bike. and can even manufacture three-seater two-wheelers.” Kalita said.
