We have grown accustomed to watching Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his new, customary long beard. However, one man in particular doesn’t seem to be a fan, or so it appears. A tea vendor, Anil More from Baramati in Maharashtra, as reported by the local media, sent a money order of Rs 100 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get his beard shaved. He stated “PM Modi has grown his beard. If he should increase something, it must be employment opportunities for the people of this country.”
The above words clearly projected the tea-stall owner’s contempt against prolonged lockdowns and he sought to capture the attention of the PM and direct it towards the growing problems of the poor in the country. Anil also requested the PM, the highest position holder in the country, to attempt to accelerate the vaccination drive. The unorganised sector has hit the hardest in the pandemic, financially and physically. He also emphasized to step up the existing medical facilities.
Since the pandemic began, the unorganised sector has been adversely hit because of the covid-induced lockdown across the county. The problems have only mounted during the severe second wave leaving many without a source of income. More writes to the PM, urging him to extend financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh to families who have lost their loved ones to covid and Rs 30000 for families hit by the lockdown. Meanwhile, it is also important to note that Anil More has no ill intention towards the Prime Minister and in fact, he has utmost respect and admiration for Narendra Modi.
