This video grab shows Anil Kokil being felicitated with flowers just minutes after his speech

The noblest of promises can be forgotten in minutes by politicians. Newly appointed as the chairman of the BEST committee, Anil Kokil, made a noble gesture, announcing that he did not want to be felicitated, nor would he accept the official vehicle provided to him – at least not until all 42,000 employees got their salaries. And yet, this reporter spotted him accepting bouquets upon bouquets from his supporters just half an hour after the announcement.
