On December 9, 2025, students in Chandla, in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, were called to a sports ground at about 9 or 10 a.m. for a Sansad Khel Mahotsav, a sports festival. The program formally began near 3 p.m., when the chief guest arrived. He was V.D. Sharma, a BJP member of Parliament.
A girl player told him: Namaste to theek hai, lekin hum subah se intezaar kar rahe hain, kya hamare paas itna faltu time hai? Greetings are fine, but we have been waiting since morning. Do we have so much spare time?
Sharma smiled. He said the organizers had given him a 2 p.m. slot.
