Kanpur: In the industrial city of Kanpur, SP MLA Amitabh Vajpayee has found it difficult to oppose the waterlogging in the city. He was demonstrating by tying a boat to his luxury car. Not only this, he also sat in the boat wearing a life saving jacket. But Kanpur’s traffic police has convicted him for violating the Motor Vehicle Act. In this case, the Kanpur police has made an e-challan of Rs 2000 against his vehicle. On the other hand, after the action of the challan, ADCP Traffic said that the MLA was protesting without the permission of the police by placing a boat on the car in the city.
Please tell that it is raining in Uttar Pradesh. Because of this, the problem of waterlogging has arisen in many cities of the state including Kanpur. Samajwadi Party’s Arya Nagar MLA Amitabh Bajpai was protesting against this problem. For this, he tied a boat on top of his luxury car and sat in it wearing a life jacket along with his supporters. Police was also present on the spot during this protest, but at the same time someone made a video of this protest and uploaded it on social media.
This video became so viral on seeing it that the police had to take cognizance of it. On the basis of this video, the police has challaned the MLA’s vehicle for Rs 2,000 for violating traffic rules. At present, MLA Amitabh Vajpayee has not given any reaction on this action of the police. But at the time of the protest, he had claimed that he would fight against the corruption of the Municipal Corporation from the road to the house. At that time, sitting on a boat, he roamed around in many areas of the city. It was said that Kanpur is a smart city and here anytime anyone else may need to leave the car and board a boat.
Raised the issue of death due to waterlogging
Accusing the officials of the Municipal Corporation of corruption, he had said that before the monsoon, food supply has been done in the name of cleaning the drains. Due to this, there is waterlogging in the city and the roads are getting dilapidated. At that time, he was talking to the media. The issue of the death of the delivery man due to waterlogging under the Juhi bridge was also taken up. Said that a poor man had lost his life due to waterlogging, but the municipal officials did not even consider it necessary to give compensation to his family.
The SP MLA appealed to the people of the city that if you buy a car, then definitely buy a boat along with it, if you buy a helmet, buy a life jacket too, because this will be useful in the rainy season. During this, he targeted the Yogi government and said that even his own MLAs are not being listened to in the BJP government. Still he is in favor. This protest of the SP MLA sitting on the boat started from Sarsaiya Ghat and ended back at Sarsaiya Ghat via Express Road, Ghantaghar, Meghdoot Square.
