Mohandas Pai Slams Bengaluru Auto Drivers: 'How Many Go By The Meter?'

  • Former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai criticized Bengaluru auto drivers for not following meter fares and overcharging passengers.
  • Pai's remarks followed an auto drivers' association's letter to PM Modi demanding a ban on bike taxi services.
  • He questioned why the public should support auto drivers who allegedly 'extort money' and demand inflated fares.
