Scindia dons a role of a teacher and farmer
Guna (MP): Stepping into the shoes of
Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, Union Minister of
State for Commerce and Industries Jyotiraditya Scindia,
inter-mingled with commoners here by donning the role of a
teacher and a farmer in the district.
Scindia went to a government school and taught maths and
other subjects to Class V standard under Bimori Development
Block yesterday.
He was very much impressed by a student Pradeep Yadav,
who instantly answered the minister's questions in maths and
won the tittle of "Masterji" from him.
Scindia was also overwhelmed with English pronunciation
of Roshni, a girl of nomadic Pardi tribe.
In the evening, Scindia surprised one and all after he
drove a tractor at village Khyawada.
Addressing a farmers' function, he showed concern over
the power cuts and said the load-shedding has hit the state's
development badly.
He said that apart from load shedding, the shortage of
fertilisers and seeds have compounded problems of farmers in
Madhya Pradesh.
The MP from Guna, said that Centre was giving priority
in the construction of roads in this region.
Scindia said that farmers were the backbone of the
country, adding that their economic condition needs to be
improved.
