A BJP Traders Cell delegation which went to submit a memorandum to the District Magistrate allegedly pasted it on the DM's chair when he didn't turn up despite giving them the appointment.

The BJP delegation went to submit a memorandum to the DM on the alleged suicide of a 25-year-old farmer, Vikas on May 31 due to debt related reasons.

"It's been nine days since the farmer committed suicide and nobody, including the district magistrate Pankaj Yadav and ministers of Samajwadi Party has taken the matter seriously despite requesting the DM several times on the issue," Chairman of BJP's Traders Cell Vineet Agarwal Sharda said.
 

"Our demand is to provide compensation of Rs 25 lakhs to the family and employment for the younger brother," he said.

"The DM had given us the appointment for the meeting today but he didn't turn up despite waiting for him for an hour," Vineet said.

The party also alleged that the present Samajwati Party dispension works only for a section of people and the DM works as a representative for the party.
