BHIND ke Naudha gaon mein Independence Day thoda extra sugary ho gaya jab Kamlesh Kushwaha ne Chief Minister Helpline par complaint file kar di. Reason? Celebration packet mein unhe mila sirf ek laddoo. Kamlesh ji ne declare kiya, “Freedom matlab freedom to have two laddoos, not one!” aur apne sarpanch ke khilaf pura case chala diya.
Panchayat ne matter cool karne ke liye ek kilo laddoo kharid liye — full peace offering. Lekin Kamlesh ji ne seedha principle mode on kar diya: “Yeh quantity ka nahi, quality of respect ka sawaal hai.” Matlab bhai sahab ne prove kar diya ki desh chale na chale, dignity ka doosra laddoo zaroor milna chahiye.
Panchayat secretary Ravindra Shrivastava ne toh public record bhi bata diya — Kamlesh ji pehle hi 107 complaints kar chuke hain: potholes se le kar unevenly fried pakore tak. Matlab gaon ka RTI andolan single-handedly inke shoulders par chal raha hai. Iss news par kisi ne social media oar comment likha, “Aise citizen mil gaye toh system bhi sweat karne lagega – from too much sugar.”
August 2025 ke viral calendar mein yeh case ek classic entry hai — because while India debated freedom of speech, Bhind debated freedom of sweet. Aur agar democracy ki pehchaan complaint karne ki azadi hai, toh Kamlesh ji ne prove kar diya ki citizenship ka sabse meetha test hai — “Thou shalt not reduce laddoos.”
Har gaon mein ek leader hota hai jo road banata hai, aur ek Kamlesh hota hai jo sweets count karta hai. Aur Boing Weekly ke record ke liye? 2025 ka sabse perfect reminder ki desh mein complaints ka system kam nahi – bas sugar level high hai.
