Just like common people, even ministers have become pretty active on the Twitter handle. Nowadays, just with a single tweet, the entire problem can be solved. We have seen how Sushma Swaraj, the External Affairs Minister and Suresh Prabhu, the Railway Minister help people sort out issues through Twitter. Want to hear the latest incident? Well, you are surely going to appreciate the Indian Government after this!
This issue revolves around a Russian national Olga Efimenkova, a Russian Nation who married Vikrant Singh Chandel, an Indian, in the year 2011. Basically she was demanding the share of her husband in the family property and was protesting outside the house of her in-laws in Agra.
How it all started?
Olga basically graduated in philosophy from Chinese University and married Vikrant in 2011. The duo lived in Goa, wherein Vikrant owned an interior decoration and restaurant business. Owing to financial losses, they came to Agra, Vikrant’s native home. Olga and Vikrant have a daughter. As per reports, her mother-in-law decided to give entire land and family home to her daughter (Olga’s sister-in-law) to run a school and wanted to kick Vikrant, Olga and their daughter out of her house.
As per reports, Olga stated “My mother-in-law mentally tortures me for being a foreigner and pressures me for dowry. She has kicked me out of the home along with my daughter and my husband.”
On the other hand, Nirmala Chandel, her mother-in-law states that all her savings were taken away by Vikrant and Olga and she had just one home to give her daughter, who isn’t living with her husband anymore. Reports say that she made accusations against Olga that she consumes drugs and is involved in gambling. Police didn’t intervene in this matter as they believed it is a family dispute.
Now this matter was tweeted to Sushma Swaraj. In turn, she reached out to Akhilesh Yadav, the Chief Minister of UP for help. She what she tweeted;
