Brijesh Pathak
It was at the launch of the Bharat Taxi in Lucknow, on Sep 23, that Pathak said that one can drive a taxi for four hours and then come back home to spend two hours with the kids and family.
LUCKNOW: Deputy chief minister of UP, Brijesh Pathak’s suggestion to people to not chase jobs but, instead, pursue self-employment, like driving an e-rickshaw or a taxi, has sparked a debate six days after he said so. “Is that possible while doing a job for someone else?”, he said. “You may always come back home, sleep for two hours and then again go back working and picking rides,” said the deputy CM. He also commented, “Paradhin sapnehu such nahin”, which means someone who is dependent on others is not happy.
To make it further convenient, one can pick the last ride to a location close to one’s home.
