My mother beats me for asking for a pencil: 6-yr-old girl complains to PM Narendra Modi about price rise

A six-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi complaining about price rise, and the 'hardship' she is facing in buying "pencils and rubber".

"My name is Kriti Dubey. I study in class 1. Modiji, you have caused a steep price rise. Even my pencil and rubber (eraser) have got costlier and the price of Maggi has also increased. Now my mother beats me for asking for a pencil. What shall I do? Other children steal my pencil," the girl from Chhibramau town in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj district wrote in her letter to the Prime Minister.

The letter to the PM, written in Hindi, has gone viral on social media.


Commenting on the letter, her father Vishal Dubey, who is an advocate, said, "It is my daughter's 'Mann Ki Baat'. She got annoyed recently when her mother scolded her when she lost her pencil in school."

According to local reports, Chhibramau SDM Ashok Kumar said he will try his best to ensure that her letter reaches the authorities concerned.
