What is the whole matter

Congress MLA from the Pipalda area, Chetan Patel, had come to Etawah to submit a memorandum to the SDM on behalf of farmers regarding crop damage. However, when the SDM did not come out to accept the memorandum, the MLA sat on a protest.

After this, Chetan Patel complained about the incident to Agriculture Minister Kirodi Lal Meena.

Kirodi Lal Meena’s sharp statement

In the viral video, Kirodi Lal Meena is seen saying

“I received a call from Chetan Patel. He is a Congress MLA, so I shouldn’t have helped him, but I did because he was fighting for the rights of farmers.”

Minister Dr KirodiLal Meena further said,

“I have also told the Chief Secretary, what is the use of an SDM who worsens the situation. This SDM needs treatment. I will get him treated and will also complain to the Chief Minister. This cannot go on like this.”

Public representatives must be respected

Kirori Lal Meena further stated that public representatives, regardless of their party affiliation, must be respected.

“Today we are in power, tomorrow someone else may be. But there is no party to the issue of farmers. This kind of treatment of public representatives cannot be tolerated,”

he said.
