Chandigarh, December 25
Sri Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari today inaugurated an open air gym at small flats in Dhanas.
The gym, costing Rs 3 lakh, was built with Tewari’s MPLAD funds. Residents were demanding the facility.
Wasim Mir, a close aide of Tewari, said before this, a Rs 5 lakh open air gym was dedicated to PEC. He said an MP could spend Rs 25 lakh of the Rs 5 crore funds every year outside his constituency. “Since he is a resident of Chandigarh, the city is quite close to him. Whenever there is a need for some work, he chips in,” he added.
Tewari has always been interested in fighting elections from the city. In the last Lok Sabha polls too, he had evinced interest in contest from here, but the party given him ticket from Sri Anandpur Sahib.
