Puttur, Jul 27: V Shylaja Amarnath, a city-based advocate, has come up with an interesting challenge for the people's representatives from the state. "It is up to you to treat this as a challenge or offer. I offer to contribute Rs 10 lac of my hard-earned money for coronavirus related expenses in the state. Now, I challenge you to contribute Rs 20 lac each for this purpose," she has said in her Facebook post.

A video uploaded by the lawyer two days back in which she is seen challenging the people's representatives of the state to contribute Rs 20 lac each has become viral now. She has offered in the video to form a committee for Covid eradication. "I hereby offer to contribute Rs 10 lac out of my hard-earned money to the committee. All of you spent crores of rupees during the election to get elected. Everyone and your own conscience know about it," she said.

The lawyer said that the people's representatives have to donate Rs 20 lac each to the committee. "Each of the 224 MLAs can contribute Rs 20 lac each. Let this amount be spent towards individual constituencies of these MLAs. Let us see why Covid cannot be decimated. Let us forget about the taxes we have paid to the government and corruption if any involved therein. Let us create a committee and use an app so that financial dealings of the committee become everyone's knowledge. She feels that in this way, corona infection can be uprooted from the entire state.

She said that none of the government offices are kept neat and clean and said that a committee can be formed to change this situation. She said that the people's representatives spend crores of rupees for the election and asked them to agree to contribute Rs 20 lac by accepting this challenge.
