The BDO told the villagers that the tender has been floated in this connection and the work will begin as early as possible. 

He himself had also asked the BDO that when the work will start and why it is getting g delayed. He later told the villagers: “I am the boss of the BDO and since I have released the money, now it is the duty of the BDO to complete the work as early as possible.” The MP had also shown some papers to make people believe that the Rs 20,000 lakh has already been sanctioned.
