Guwahati: Barpeta MP Phani Bhusan Choudhury hopped on a public bus in Bongaigaon. He sat among everyday commuters. The veteran AGP politician did not seek a private car or security detail. Images of the ride hit social media sites. People are talking.
Choudhury serves as an eight-time MLA from Bongaigaon. He is no stranger to public attention. This man keeps things simple. He has a history of selling vegetables in local markets and cruising through town on a scooter. He often stops at roadside tea stalls to chat with whoever is nearby.
His career spans decades. Despite his long tenure in office, he rejects the typical trappings of political power. Supporters say his latest trip reinforces his reputation as a leader who stays in touch with the common person. The photos of his commute confirm his preference for life outside the bubble.
