This "poor" auto/taxi driver you say is a politically active person attending political rallies of UP/Bihari politicians in lakhs! Come to Mumbai, where auto taxi permits have been frozen since 1997 yet the number of taxis autos are increasing fast. How? These poor auto taxi drivers copy a single existing legal permit 8-10 times and drive 10 different taxis on that single permit.
This "poor" migrant knows very well that political power is the easiest route to the legalisation of illegal activities like encroaching on public lands through slums, illegal hawking/vending on streets, illegal plying of 15-20 year old taxis on forged permits etc.
