On May 24, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched 150 electric buses. The citizens were also allowed to travel for free in the buses for the first three days — from May 24 to May 26. The government is now launching a social media contest in which people are encouraged to take photographs in the electric buses and post them on their Instagram, Twitter or Facebook handles for a chance to win an iPad.
In a tweet on its official handle, the Aam Aadmi Party shared a short clip and captioned the post, “Selfie le le re,” and added, “While you're enjoying a ride in Delhi's new electric buses, take a selfie, post it with #iRideEBus and grab a chance to Win an iPad.”
Mr Kejriwal can be seen in the video telling people that they can take a selfie inside the bus and share it with the hashtag ‘iRideEBus'. The chief minister added that he, too, will take a few selfies.
Then in the video we can see Mr Kejriwal actually clicking a selfie while taking a ride in one of the buses.
Here's the tweet:

These buses produce no smoke, have CCTV cameras, GPS, 10 panic buttons, and ramps for the disabled, among other features.
