Once he was travelling in a car from Bangalore to Mysore and the vehicle suddenly stopped midway. The driver tried to do something but was not successful. He told the minister he was helpless because there was no screw driver. An angry minister told him "Why did you not tell me beforehand. I would have brought him also along". He thought the screw driver was someone like the car driver. There are many more such jokes, many of which have been stolen and passed on as Sardarji jokes.
