The Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu was spotted arriving to the State Assembly in his humble Maruti Alto. Alto is one of the most popular and successful vehicles in the Himalayan regions. This is particularly true for the remote parts of Himachal Pradesh. In fact, Maruti 800 was the original leader in this space. After its discontinuation, this old-generation Alto took its place. The Alto is the identity of the common man in Himachal Pradesh. Let us take a look at the details here.

Author’s Note
You won’t come across many Chief Ministers who drive a humble car like the Maruti Alto today. This is truly impressive and worthy of respect that the man has not forgotten his roots. However, we don’t know if this is really the case or is it just a publicity stunt. In any case, people can draw inspiration from such events and implement it in their own lives. We often struggle to control our desires and spend exorbitant money on things we might not necessarily need. Such instances should ideally humble us.
