CJP's Saurav Das claims MP anganwadi workers 'ordered' to celebrate PM Modi's birthday: 'Manufacturing gratitude'
According to the email, Anganwadi workers were asked to gather rural women, distribute lighted diyas and photograph them ‘celebrating’ PM Modi’s birthday.
CJP co-convenor Saurav Das recently received an email from an Anganwadi worker's mother in Madhya Pradesh, alleging that workers there have been ordered to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday on September 17. According to the email, Anganwadi workers are required to gather rural women, distribute lighted diyas, and take photographs of them "celebrating" the PM's birthday.
Additionally, they are instructed to record videos of women praising the Prime Minister and his government's initiatives. Das expressed outrage over the situation, calling it "deeply authoritarian" and accusing the BJP government of manufacturing gratitude through coercive PR activities. He stated that if the government had genuinely improved the lives of Anganwadi workers, they wouldn't need to be ordered to praise anyone.
