Beed (Maharashtra): A young man on a horse brought his wedding procession to the tehsil office in Patoda to get his ration card as the administration was not giving him one.
Despite trying many times a young man named Amit Ghansham Aage was denied a ration card. The administration was constantly finding excuses and mistakes with his application. They even told him that he needed to be married and have a family for a ration card.
This prompted the young man to gather some friends, horse and band and they proceeded to the tehsil office. This unique agitation caused a lot of confusion in the tehsil office. The young man fought a ploy to teach a lesson to the administration and brought his friends to the tehsil office at dawn, dressed as a groom on a decorated horse, gathering friends and playing a band.
Seeing this, the tehsil administration of Patoda also came to his rescue and finally the administration handed over the ration card to the youth at the same place within an hour. This act by the young man is being discussed in Beed district.
The administration was constantly finding mistakes
It is learnt that Amit Ghansham Aage, a youth from Dhangar near Patoda taluka, is educated and has a degree in science. Despite his higher education, Amit does not have a job and lives near the village. Amit had applied for a ration card on September 29, 2020 at the Patoda tehsil office as he needed a ration card. The Patoda tehsil administration was constantly finding errors in Amit's ration card application, all of which were rectified by Amit from time to time. However, the tehsil administration was not ready to give him a ration card. After Amit's persistent demands, the administration wanted Amit's application to be disposed of, he said, adding that he must be married for a separate ration card.
Who will get their daughter married to someone educated but unemployed
A written letter was issued to the youth by the administration, disposing of his application stating that there was no provision for issuing ration cards in the name of one person as it did not fit the definition of a family. However, according to Amit, he is separated from his parents and has got higher education.
However, if you don't get a job and you don't have a job, who will give you a daughter for marriage? That said, the demand for ration cards had continued. However, Amit said that he also fought a unique battle as he was not noticed by the administration.
Arun Jadhav, state coordinator of the deprived Bahujan Aghadi, Panchayat Samiti members Yashwant Khandagale, Gorakh Zend, Sachin Meghadambar, Vitthal Naikwade, Ramesh Varbhuvan, Sunil Jawle, Vitthal Paval, Atul Aage and many others had participated in the agitation.
