Two days after Ashwini Vaishnaw took charge as the new Information Technology and Railways minister, a video of him is winning hearts on social media. In the clip, he was seen interacting with an engineer from the signal department of the Indian Railways. When Vaishnaw got to know that like him, the engineer is also an alumnus of MBM Engineering College in Jodhpur, he asked him to come forward and hugged him.
After the two hugged, Vaishnaw said the juniors in his college used to address their seniors as “boss” and further asked the employee to call him “boss” from now on instead of sir.
