Describing himself as Modi's fan, Devansh stated that he has never missed "Mann Ki Baat" radio talk
Is your rally more
important than my school?
School boy writes to PM Modi on his meeting in MP
Khandwa (PTI): Anguished over the prospects of missing
classes as his school bus was being acquired for Prime Minister's rally in
Alirajpur district, a class VIII student has written an emotional letter to
Narendra Modi, which prompted the district administration to withdraw their
order requisitioning vehicles for the event.
Modi is slated to visit the birth place of revolutionary
leader Chandrashekhar Azad at Bhabhra village, and will address a public
meeting at Jothrada village near there where he will launch "70 saal
Azaadi, Yaad karo Qurbani" campaign.
Devansh Jain, a student of Vidyakunj School here, became
aggrieved after his teachers told him that school will remain closed on August
9 and August 10 as buses were being acquired by the administration for ferrying
people for PM's programme.
In his letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Devansh said,
"Is your meeting more important than my school?"
"I have also listened to your addresses in America
where a lot of people were present, but they have not come to the venue in
school buses".
Describing himself as Modi's fan, Devansh stated that he has
never missed the PM's "Mann Ki Baat" radio talk and had even picked
up fight with his classmates who were teasing him for following Modi.
He also requested Modi to tell "Shivraj Mama" (as
the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is popularly known) not
to acquire school buses for the purpose as "you are not like Congress
leaders and you have concern for our studies and future".
"If you do so then I will tell with vigour that in the
meetings of my Modi uncle, crowd comes on its own and it is not managed,"
the letter said.
As the letter went viral on social media, an order on the
instruction of the district collector was issued by the Joint Collector directing
officials to immediately stop acquisition of vehicles/buses for ferrying people
for the Prime Minister's Bhabhra visit (copy of the order is available with
PTI).
Earlier, the joint collector had issued an order to the
school with bus numbers and directed it to provide them to the concerned
authorities for sending people to Bhabhra.
