His safety was the reason behind stopping the vehicles. Message is good. Delivery of Message is poor, extremely poor. It's absolutely unfortunate & condemnable that he publicly humiliated a DC for scoring brownies.
The incident happened on National Highway 37 near Gumotha Gaon in Nagaon district when Deputy Commissioner (DC) Nisarg Hivare ordered to hold up traffic for security reasons. When the Chief Minister arrived, he saw the huge traffic jam and stopped his car and got down to know the reason. He apparently got annoyed and yelled at the officer for the order. He later said that VIP culture won't be allowed in the state.
