Even though the dates of civic elections in Uttar Pradesh have not been announced, but politics has intensified since now. The councilors of the opposition do not want to leave any chance to surround the officials and the ruling party. In this sequence, on Tuesday, Congress councilors protested in a unique way outside the Municipal Commissioner’s office at the Municipal Corporation headquarters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency. The councilors registered their protest by crawling on knees and elbows.
Around a dozen councilors of the Congress party were seen crawling on their knees and elbows to the gallery outside the Municipal Commissioner’s office at the Municipal Corporation headquarters in Sigra area of Varanasi. During this, the Congress councilors also kept their demands. Everyone said that this year no work has been started with the Rs 10 lakh allocated by the government for development in the area.
Due to lack of work, the public is not getting the benefit. If the work does not start in time, then the money kept in the budget will go back. If the representatives whom the people send to the House as their representatives, start crawling on their knees and elbows, then how will the voice of the people reach up.
