In a defiant move similar to her predecessor, newly-elected Mumbai mayor Snehal Ambekar has refused to remove the red beacon light on her official car.<br /><br />Ambekar, 42, the first time Shiv Sena corporator, courted controversy on Wednesday by stating that a mayor is "equivalent to the chief minister" and thus, should be allowed to use a red beacon light on the official vehicle.<br /><br />"If you ask my opinion, I think if the CM uses a red beacon, mayor is of the same level and thus should be allowed to use a red beacon (fitted car). Whenever a VIP comes to the city, the mayor goes to receive him as a representative of the people. The mayor should, therefore, have a standard," she said.<br /><br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
