Minister Vows to Ditch Ironed Clothes

In a move that’s sparking both amusement and debate, Madhya Pradesh Energy Minister Pradyuman Singh Tomar has pledged to forgo ironed clothes for an entire year—all in a bid to save electricity. Known for his unconventional choices, Tomar’s latest vow has quickly become the talk of the town.

According to the minister, skipping the iron will save about half a unit of electricity every day. However, he made one exception: he’ll wear pressed clothes only once—on his daughter’s wedding day. Tomar explained that his decision was motivated by a desire to ensure a sustainable future and prevent energy crises for the next generation.

The announcement was made during a public event in Gwalior, and reactions have been pouring in ever since. While some appreciated the minister’s gesture, others, particularly from the opposition, were not impressed. Congress state vice-president R.P. Singh mocked the move, calling it the “latest episode in the minister’s web series of gimmicks.” Singh even suggested that if Tomar was serious about saving energy, he should trade his fleet of official vehicles for a bicycle instead.

The public, too, has mixed feelings. While a few see it as a symbolic step towards energy conservation, others argue that ironing clothes consumes a negligible amount of electricity compared to other household appliances. For many, ironed clothes are a non-negotiable part of daily life, especially for formal events.
