Shivani, a student from Gadooda village, made a video standing in knee-deep water and sarcastically questioned the leaders, "Netaji, where is the development?", exposing the village's plight.
Rajasthan: Gadooda village in the Laxmangarh area of Sikar district is currently a topic of discussion across the country. The reason is a conscious student of the village, Shivani, who made a video criticizing the condition of the village, which was flooded due to rain, and it went viral. This clip, just a few seconds long, not only startled the administration but also made the ruling leaders accountable to the general public.
Shivani, standing in the water, asked - Netaji, where is the development?
Shivani, a school student from Gadooda, recorded a video with her mobile camera in which she is walking in knee-deep dirty water in her school uniform. She sarcastically asks, "Netaji, where is the development?" This single line of hers has become the most discussed voice on social media today. This question is not just the resentment of a student, but a reflection of the condition of an entire village that has been ignored for a long time.
Claim of development, but a swamp in reality
In her video, Shivani said that as soon as there is a little rain in the village, the streets turn into rivers. The village's electricity DP is submerged in water, which could lead to a fatal accident at any time. The village's generator is also out of order and the electricity supply is disrupted. Villagers are forced to pass through the paths of cattle. Shivani fearlessly presented all these problems and asked a question in her simple language that went straight to the hearts of the people.
The opposition targeted the government
After this incident, the opposition parties attacked the Congress government and the local administration. The opposition questioned whether development is limited to posters and speeches? They said that if a student has to express her views through social media, it clearly shows that the voice of the public is not reaching the administration.
Dotasra met Shivani
After the video went viral, Govind Singh Dotasra, the Congress state president and MLA from Laxmangarh, called Shivani to his residence. He praised Shivani's courage and awareness. Dotasra also said that the village's problems would be resolved on a priority basis. However, many people consider this a political strategy to improve image, while some people are also calling it a positive attitude of the leader.
Shivani received support on social media
As soon as the video went viral, people are appreciating Shivani on social media. Thousands of people from Twitter to Instagram have given Shivani the name of 'fearless rural reporter' and 'voice of the people'. Some users said that now the leaders will have to come down to the ground because cameras do not lie in the digital age.
The girl's voice became a spark of change
Shivani has proved that change can start not from a big platform, but also from the streets of the village. Now other students of the village are also becoming aware and have started asking questions to the administration. Hopes of change have increased in Gadooda village due to Shivani. The women of the village are saying that now their daughters will not remain silent, and if needed, they will also demand answers from the administration.
