No, not all politicians in India are allowed to use red or blue sirens on their vehicles. The use of these beacons is strictly regulated and limited to a very small group of constitutional authorities and emergency services.

🚨 Red beacons: Only permitted for high dignitaries holding constitutional offices, such as the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India, and a few others, and only during official duties.

Blue and multi-colored lights: Reserved for emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, firefighters, police, and disaster management teams.

Non-use of sirens for politicians: Politicians who do not hold constitutional offices or are not involved in emergencies cannot legally use sirens or beacons. Misuse is punishable by law.

⚖️ Supreme Court Position

India’s Supreme Court has strongly condemned the misuse of beacons and sirens, calling it a reflection of the outdated “Raj mentality,” a colonial remnant that promotes elitism. It has ordered authorities to take punitive action against violators and emphasized that these symbols should not be used to display status.

In short, unless a political figure is specifically authorized by the government and is on official duty, they cannot use red or blue sirens. Doing so is not only illegal but also a flagrant abuse of privilege.
