'Daadi bana diya': ‘124-year-old' first-time voter in Bihar electoral rolls reacts; was on Oppn T-shirts at Parliament
Minta Devi, the "first time" voter at '124 years' in the Bihar draft electoral rolls, has said that the Election Commission has made her a grandma. Minta Devi told reporters that she was thrilled about casting her vote for the first time at age 35.(ANI) "How can I be blamed for the goof-up? I had filled up my enumeration form online, after having waited in vain for a visit by the booth-level officer," the 35-year-old was quoted as saying by PTI. Her remarks come on a day opposition MPs led by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra staged a demonstration in the national capital, wearing t-shirts with Minta Devi's name and photo and "124 not out" printed on them. The Siwan district administration has said that it has reached out to Devi, the would-be voter of the Daraunda assembly segment and remedial steps were taken well before the anomaly made headlines. Devi, meanwhile, told reporters that she was thrilled about casting her vote for the first time at age 35. 'I am thrilled that, finally, at the age of 35, I may get a chance to cast my vote. Many polls have passed since I became eligible but somehow my name never made it to the voters' list. If the EC has made me a grandma (daadi bana diya) in the process, it is fine with me,' Devi was quoted as saying by PTI.

I had stated my year of birth as 1990, the same as in my Aadhar card. I cannot help it if in the draft rolls 1990 has been made 1900," she said. What Siwan administration said As the anomaly in Devi's age in the records made headlines, the Siwan district administration said that it has obtained an application from the 35-year-old for rectifying the error. 'An application was obtained from Minta Devi on August 10 for rectifying the error, to which her attention was drawn by the BLO. It will be dealt with during the claims and objections phase (of special intensive revision of electoral rolls)', it said. (Inputs from PTI)

Mohali councillor Sarabjit Singh Samana calls Mohali Mayor ‘complete failure'; Sidhu says MC facing severe fund crunch
Mohali councillor Sarabjit Singh Samana on Tuesday accused Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu of 'dodging key issues' and being a 'complete failure' in development works, asking him to resign voluntarily, even as the latter claimed that the Municipal Corporation (MC) is facing a severe fund crunch. Speaking with The Indian Express, Samana said the Mayor had recently claimed to give a 24-hour ultimatum to meet the Mohali MLA but 'has not shown up till today (Tuesday).' 'The Mayor should stop playing hide-and-seek and come to MLA Kulwant Singh's office anytime if he genuinely wants to solve Mohali's issues,' he added. Targeting Sidhu's handling of the garbage crisis, Samana alleged, 'until MLA Kulwant Singh raised the Samgoli issue, the Mayor didn't even know about it. Even after visiting the site, he's only making delaying statements, though the access road is the corporation's responsibility'. He said the crisis could have been avoided had action been taken when the dumping ground shut down 18 months ago. On the drainage issue, Samana claimed the Mayor talks about a Rs 200-crore project 'without bringing it to the House, passing it, or even presenting a survey report.' Taking a dig, he said: 'the Mayor is an expert in airy statements. He even said in public that saving his chair for four years would be his biggest success which shows staying in power is his only goal'. The councillor also took a swipe at the Mayor's elder brother, former MLA Balbir Singh Sidhu, saying, 'Despite holding no constitutional post, Balbir Sidhu claims he is getting works done, while the Mayor says his works aren't done. Either one is lying, or both are. It seems Balbir has taken the contract to lie in villages, and the Mayor in the city'. Meanwhile, in a counter move, Mayor Sidhu, through his representative, delivered a copy of a letter addressed to the Chief Minister at MLA Kulwant Singh's office. The letter seeks a Rs 600-crore grant for 15 major projects, including resolving the garbage problem, rainwater drainage, city bus service, replacing asbestos sewage pipes, and constructing an auditorium. In the letter, the Mayor stated that Mohali MC faces a severe fund crunch as it has 'no independent sources of income,' while GMADA 'earns billions by selling land in Mohali but does not provide necessary funds.' Sidhu said he has now sent full expenditure details to the MLA as requested. 'Now it's up to the MLA to tell when he will go to the Chief Minister for this grant. I, along with my fellow councillors, am ready anytime to accompany him,' the Mayor added.
