Youth Congress’ march on the rights of MNREGA workers in Jodhpur took the form of a controversy. MLA Abhimanyu Punia, angry with the attitude of the administrative officials, tore the memorandum papers and threw them in the air in front of the SDM.
According to the information, this dramatic incident became a cause of tension in the Collectorate premises. Or it can be said that this high profile drama continued.
What is the whole matter?
Youth Congress’s ‘MNREGA Rescue Mahasangram’ march left Sojati Gate and reached the District Collectorate. The leaders requested the Collector and Additional Collector to come out and take the memorandum. On behalf of the administration, SDM Pankaj Jain came to the spot and was ready to take the memorandum, but the Congress leaders insisted that he should come outside the gate among the common workers.

Amidst this debate, MLA Abhimanyu Punia got angry and tore the pages of the memorandum and threw it towards the SDM. During this, they raised slogans making serious allegations against the police and administration.
Administration remains away from the general public – MLA
MLA Abhimanyu Poonia said, “When the District Collector and Additional Collector do not come out to take the memorandum of the public representatives, then who will listen to the problems of the common people?” He said that this step had to be taken due to the distance between the administration and public representatives. He warned that if the rights of MNREGA workers are not protected, the agitation will be further intensified.
Who were there on the spot?
Former minister Rajendra Chaudhary, Bhopalgarh MLA Geeta Barwad and other Congress leaders were also present in this demonstration. After the memorandum was torn, there was an atmosphere of tension in the Collectorate office premises for some time and Congress workers even argued with the police.
It is worth noting that many times a situation of tension arises during the rallies and protests organized by public representatives and politicians. But the action of the public representative in Jodhpur, instead of handing over the memorandum to the SDM, tearing it in front of him and throwing it in the air has put the pride of Jodhpur to shame.
