MP News: A video from Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district has gone viral recently in which local women are seen requesting for construction of a road. The video is reportedly from 2023, in which the women from Khaddi Khurd village stated that the villagers are lacking basic facilities even after 29 members of parliament have been elected from the state. While the authorities had promised that the road would be built in the next 12 months, it has not been built yet, leading to several issues. However, BJP MP Rajesh Mishra stated that all the arrangements will be made for the pregnant women if they inform a week ahead of the delivery date.

Earlier in 2018, Leela Sahu, the social media influencer with more than a lakh followers, had also tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Road and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in the video. They mentioned that the pregnant women had to suffer a lot due to the broken roads. "You made all 29 MPs win from Madhya Pradesh. Can we now get a road?" Sahu asked in the video.

While reacting to the video, the Sidhi district magistrate had stated that the road would be built in the next 12 months; however, the road still remains broken. Apart from this, BJP MP Rajesh Mishra stated that the pregnant women need not worry, adding that they will get all the facilities if they inform a week before the delivery date. He further asked if any individual has witnessed inconveniences due to the poor road.

"Every delivery has a date. We will get it done a week before that ( Har delivery ki expected date hoti hai. Uske ek hafte pehle hi uthwa lenge)," said Mishra. "If she wishes, she should come to us. We'll provide all facilities - food, water, care. Talking about these things publicly isn't ideal," he added.
