"I am an amputee and can't sit in Metro with (an) artificial leg due to ill-designed seats. So would be (the) bus ride for me due to pushes and pulls. (The) only option is my own car. What do I and many like me do?" Singh had asked.
Responding to the question, Kejriwal tweeted: "Yes...persons with disabilities will definitely be exempt during Odd-Even."
