State’s Deputy Chief Minister TS Singhdev has promised the tribals of Pandariya that he will take them for a helicopter tour. Will show the sea of Puri. The tribals were so happy to hear this that they gave Kang’s kheer brought with them to eat. Baba asked – what is this? How to eat it? Then he himself took them to the kitchen and said – make it and feed it to me.
This interesting incident happened on Monday. In fact, some tribals of Kukdur tehsil of Pandariya block had reached Raipur’s civil line bungalow on Monday to meet Baba. They came from the hilly areas of Jhumar, Tilgatta, Chindidih. There were some complaints from tribal groups. He had to present his point regarding forest rights lease and seeds. Had brought application in paper. Baba took his application, read it and gave the order. Said – the work will be done. Then a series of informal talks started.
Baba asked – is there anything else. A Baiga tribal who came from Kawardha said that Baba, we have a dream. When we see you coming in the helicopter, then we say that we also have to sit in the helicopter. Baba smiled and asked – Hey, where will you go in the helicopter…. The tribals said that where will Baba go, wherever you will send him.
After this Baba again said – anything else? Some of the tribals said that we have never seen the sea. I want to see the sea. Baba said – Ok ok. We will show you the sea in the helicopter. We will send Puri to everyone. There will be a helicopter ride and you will also see the sea. Baba said how many people are there who want to go in the helicopter. He told that there are about forty people. Baba said – It is okay. By doing 20-20 you will be sent for a tour of Puri in a helicopter.
Hearing this, the tribals who came there became very happy. During this, Ramli Bai Baiga, who came here, brought with her the traditional dish Kang Ki Kheer. Baba did not understand, what was that thing. When he asked Ramli, she could not understand what Baba was saying. Shrinked. Singhdev took them to the kitchen and asked them to make it here. He heated the kheer and fed it to Baba. Everyone present here tasted a little kheer. After this the tribals left.
