In her eagerness to claim credit for development works big, small and petty before the code of conduct comes into place, Member of Parliament Kirron Kher has been on an inauguration spree, throwing open at least 20 projects, including toilet blocks, in the last six days. It’s arguably for the first time in the city that an MP is not only inaugurating toilets but also laying their foundation stone.
The focus is on the economically weaker section (EWS) colonies, which form a major vote bank. A day after ‘’gracing’’ the inauguration of a series of non-functional sports complexes and a hospital, Kher laid the foundation stone of a toilet block at the grain market in Sector 26 on Tuesday. She also inaugurated a road constructed at Pipliwala town in Manimajra. Next on her schedule was the distribution of pension cards to workers at the museum and art gallery in Sector 10 as part of the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan Dhan Yojna, a national programme.
