Karnataka [India], April 23 (HBTV): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday received a garland made of free bus tickets. The unique gesture was a way of a student’s gratitude to the government for free travel. 

A first-year law student from Arasikere presented a garland made from free bus tickets to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. 

The student, MA Jayashree, offered the garland during an election campaign attended by CM Siddaramaiah.    

Presenting the garland, Jayashree said, 'Thanks to the Congress government's free travel initiative, which you implemented as chief minister, I have been able to pursue my law studies without any financial strain. Therefore, I kept all the free tickets and made this garland.'
