Scindia chastised the protesting individual over his rudeness before promptly sanctioning Rs 3 crore for the project. The Union Minister, Jyotiraditya Scindia, vehemently refuted the threat by a resident to abstain from voting on account of the pending road during a visit to his Guna parliamentary constituency.
Rs 3 crore sanction : Just half an hour after the video gained traction online, Scindia announced a Rs 3 crore allocation for the road project drawn from Guna MLA Pannalal Shakya’s quota. District directives : The minister further instructed the district collector to ensure that construction work commences immediately after the monsoon season.
Confrontation over ‘road nahi to vote nahi’
The protest : Carrying posters and shouting “Road nahi to vote nahi” (No road, No vote), villagers obstructed Scindia’s motorcade during his trip through the constituency. The incident occurred when some of the locals stopped the motorcade of the Union Minister to voice their displeasure over poor road conditions. The minister’s chastisement : Scindia immediately retorted, “Do not use such language with me. Do you understand? Come and make a request to me. It is my duty to do the work.”
