On the sidelines of the BPCL annual general meeting, R P Natekar, executive director (LPG), was talking about the success of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana when he was accosted by an official. This official pointed out that Natekar would be the visual embodiment of the idea of “ujala” (light; Ujjwala can be translated to mean bright) that day. Natekar, who was dressed in spotless white, retorted in jest: “Why do you think I am wearing a bright white shirt today?”
