The quirky complaint was registered by Madhya Pradesh's Kamlesh Kushwaha on chief minister's helpline number, reported news agency PTI.
The report citing officials stated that Kamlesh Kushwaha, a resident of Naudha village in Bhind district, dialed the Chief Minister’s Helpline after receiving what he considered an incomplete sweet deal during the nationwide Independence Day celebrations on 15th August.
The complaint was filed against the village sarpanch and secretary, officials said on Thursday.
Man has filed over 100 complaints, says official
From roads and drains to laddoos, Kushwaha’s complaint record suggests no issue is too small to be escalated.
Panchayat secretary Ravindra Shrivastava said, “Kushwaha is the in habit of doing such things. He has so far filed 107 complaints with the CM Helpline on various issues.”
