Continuing his denunciation against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel on Tuesday violated the odd-even scheme as a mark of protest following which he was penalized by the traffic police.

According to an official, Goel was fined after he left his residence on Ashoka Road. Earlier, Delhi transport minister Gopal Rai met Goel and requested him not to oppose the odd-even scheme.

Goel had threatened to oppose the odd-even scheme as a mark of protest over what he called "ill expenditure" on the advertisements by the Delhi government.

The 15-day odd-even traffic scheme began on April 15 and aim to put odd- and even-numbered vehicles on the roads on alternate dates to reduce air pollution in Delhi.
