The Bharatpur district administration has selected five beneficiaries who will speak to Modi, and are being trained on how to answer his questions positively.
One of them, Manju Devi, later refused to take part. “I got two instalments of Rs 2,500 each after the birth of my daughter under the Raj Shri Scheme,” she said on Thursday.
“I was told to give answers to Modi in positive and not ask any question.” Other beneficiaries, such as Umrao Singh, a resident of Belara Kala village under Kumher block, confirmed that the administration had tutored them.
Rajasthan Deputy Director of Information Technology Satyanarayan Chouhan confirmed that five people had been tutored, and said the administration was trying to get some female students from schools and colleges on board.
