The Union Cabinet earlier this month issued a notification to end the culture of flashing red beacons, more popularly known as ‘Lal Batti’ with effect from May 1. The red beacon or laal batti, signifies influence and privilege for those in power. But the ban on the red beacon does not affect only them. It’s a bid to establish the concept of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘New India’ that stresses on ‘EPI’ – Every Person is Important.’
“When I say EPI instead of VIP, the meaning is clear — Every Person is Important. Every person has value and importance. If we recognise the importance of 123 crore citizens of the country, imagine the big strength that the country will have in fulfilling the grand dreams. We all have to do it together,” Prime Minister Modi said, while addressing the nation through ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday.
