Elderly BJP supporter asks Minister Dilip Ahirwar where the development in Chandla is

A video of a conversation with Madhya Pradesh minister Dilip Ahirwar in Chhatarpur district is going viral on social media. In it, an elderly BJP supporter is seen questioning the minister directly over the lack of development in Chandla. The video has drawn attention to the pending demands and civic works of the area.

In the conversation, the elderly man told the minister that many of the development works promised for Chandla have not been completed. He specifically raised the demand for a police outpost, saying it was necessary for people's safety.

He also expressed anger over the functioning of the Chandla municipality. He said no substantial development had taken place in the town. He told the minister, "Not even a rupee's work has been done here. No development has happened." He also said that many important social and civic issues were being ignored and that the minister should attend to them.

In response to the complaints, Ahirwar said the municipality is an independent body and the government cannot directly interfere in its functioning. He also mentioned works under way in Chandla, including the construction of a park and two to three other projects.

The supporter nonetheless asked the minister not to be swayed by the people around him and to take decisions himself. He stressed that Chandla is an important town and needs attention, especially on the police outpost.

He said he had earlier put the same demand for a police outpost before BJP leader VD Sharma. According to him, Sharma had assured him that the work would be done within seven days. He also said he is a long-standing party worker and knows many leaders, but had never before raised Chandla's development issues with them.

The elderly man also said the minister in charge of the district had advised him to meet the minister responsible for the area.

After hearing him, Ahirwar assured him that he would take the matter seriously and look into the pending demands.
