Addresing the press meet he said “When founding the party, I was wearing Khaki which depicts service-mindedness. The late Shankar Nag, veteran actor of the yesteryears, who used to nurse big dreams, too was fond of auto rickshaws. We have got this symbol for our party. Auto signifies running on its own. Our aim is that the government chosen by the people’s support should run on its own without any problems,” he explained.
