Nitin Gadkari's challenge to Ujjain MP: Get Rs 1000 cr development fund for each kg lost

New Delhi: Union minister Nitin Gadkari has promised BJP MP from Ujjain Anil Firojiya Rs 1,000 crore for every kg of weight lost by the latter for the development of his constituency.

In February, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari laid the foundation stones for 11 road projects, having a cumulative length of 534 km, worth 5,772 crores, for the Malwa region.

During the function in Makodiaam area, he challenged Firojiya to lose weight for the development of his constituency and get Rs 1,000 crore for each kilo lost, an NDTV report said.

"Anil Firojiya is constantly demanding budget for development from me. I have given him a condition, I was 135 kg. Now I weigh 93 kg. I showed him my old photo. People do not recognize me. That's why I will give 1,000 crore rupees for the development of Ujjain for as many kilos as you lose, just lose your weight. I will tell you how to do it," the union minister Nitin Gadkari was quoted as saying in the report.

According to the report, Firojiya accepted the challenge that linked his fitness to the development of Ujjain and since February has been following a diet plan and a strict one to two hours daily regime of physical workout, cycling, swimming and yoga.

Firojiya said, "Gadkari ji announced from the stage that every one kg weight cut by me will result in his ministry sanctioning Rs 1,000 crore for my parliamentary constituency. We have already got around 6,000 crores so I'll meet him during monsoon session and will remind him of his promise," the report stated.
