Respected Deshmukh ji,

         

As written to your predecessor Sh. C.P. Joshi on 22^nd November, 2010, and to you on 25^th January, 2011, I am hereby returning the NREGS achievement award along with the Rs. 44,000 amount that was presented to me by Smt. Sonia Gandhi on 2^nd February, 2009, as no action has been taken yet in the incident involving beating of workers on 14/1/09 by husband of a (former) Gram Pradhan, Ghanshyam, in the presence of police and irregularities in the Panchayat account of Aira Kake Mau, Block Bharawan, Dist. Hardoi, U.P., including withdrawl of Rs. 6,20,000 by Ghanshyam in his name.

 

I apologize for any inconvenience caused due to my decision.

 

                                             Sincerely,

 

                                                                                   (Sandeep Pandey)
