Only one laddoo? MP man dials CM helpline; files complaint

NEW DELHI: In a rather bizarre case from Madhya Pradesh, a man from Bhind district used the chief minister’s helpline number to raise an unusual grievance. His complaint? He received only one laddoo instead of the customary two during the Independence Day celebrations.

Officials said Kamlesh Kushwaha, a resident of Naudha village, filed the complaint against the village sarpanch and secretary, for not getting the customary two laddoos.

After the complaint, the panchayat purchased one kilogram of laddoos for redistribution. But in a twist, Kushwaha refused to accept them. Panchayat secretary Ravindra Shrivastava said, "Kushwaha is the in habit of doing such things. He has so far filed 107 complaints with the CM Helpline on various issues”
