Bhopal: When the governor visited a house under construction on a government project, Budhram, a tribal from Madhya Pradesh, did not even think that he would have to pay a ‘big price’ for the visit. Governor Mangubhai handed over the keys to the house and had lunch with Budhram and his family. Patel returned. Now comes the twist. After the governor returned, the authorities presented a bill to Budhram asking him to pay Rs 14,000.
Here is what happened: During a visit to the Vidisha district, the governor and his delegation arrived at the house entrance ceremony of the house where Budhram’s construction is in progress. Budhram’s house was built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Prior to the governor’s visit, local authorities and officials decorated Budhram’s house and grounds. This is the evil of Budhram. Authorities installed a new decorative gate and fans at Budhram’s home. The day after the governor’s visit, panchayat members came and took away the fan and demanded payment of a bill of Rs 14,000 for the gate.
Officers came. They said the governor was eating from here. A gate worth Rs 14,000 was erected. Now they are asking me to pay. “I would not have agreed to close the gate if I had known I would have to pay,” Budhram told NDTV. Under the Pradhan Mantri Ujwala Yojana, Budhram was also offered a cooking gas connection to his new home. But six months later it was still not received. This is because the house work is not completed.
Meanwhile, Urban Development Minister Bhupendra Singh said action would be taken against the officials responsible for the incident. He added that this should not have happened and action would be taken. Meanwhile, the Congress has come out to criticize the government on the issue. Congress MLA urges people to stop looting Kunal Chaudhary said.
