Last year, the Dutch PM Mark Rutte created headlines when he cycled his way to the Royal Palace to meet the king of Netherlands.

And now once again he has created a buzz on the Internet.
According to a report by the Indian Express, he accidentally spilled coffee and cleaned it on his own without waiting for the cleaning staff to do it.
A video clip from the Parliament security area was shared by a diplomat on Twitter.

In the clip, Mr Rutte is seen picking up his coffee cup and then grabbing a mop from one of the staff members. He then, cleans up the floor without hesitating as staff cheers him on.
People across the world are lauding the PM for this act and comparing it with the elitist mentality of their politicians.

And Indians want their politicians to learn some serious lessons from this act.
Two lessons to emulate for our leaders whose ego gets the better of them all the time:
