Minister’s Weird No-Iron Pledge Sparks Debate

Minister’s Weird No-Iron Pledge Sparks Debate

Madhya Pradesh Energy Minister Pradyuman Singh Tomar has vowed not to wear ironed clothes for a year to save electricity. His decision, aimed at promoting energy conservation, has drawn widespread attention and sparked discussions. He stated that skipping ironing could save half a unit of electricity daily, except on his daughter's wedding day.

Tomar announced his pledge during a public event in Gwalior, triggering political reactions. The Congress party mocked his decision, calling it a publicity stunt. Congress leader R.P. Singh suggested that if Tomar genuinely wanted to save energy, he should give up his official vehicles and switch to cycling.

Citizens have also shared mixed opinions. While some see ironing as essential for formal occasions, others doubt its impact on electricity conservation. Whether this initiative will make a real difference remains uncertain, but Tomar’s statement has certainly caught public and political attention.
