Residents want Bhajan Lal to celebrate his birthday with them

JAIPUR: Chief minister designate Bhajan Lal Sharma lives in flat number 705 of Balaji Towers in Malviya Nagar which comes under Bagru constituency. However, residents of this society always supported Sharma who won the election from Sanganer. It may have surprised them when his name was announced as CM-designate but the celebrations continued till late in the evening.
The neighbours and members of the society now want Sharma to celebrate his birthday on December 15 with them before shifting to chief minister’s bungalow after taking oath.For some Sharma is “Apne Sharma ji” or “Bhaisaab” and for many he is the person who always took stand on any issue in the society.
Geeta Sharma, wife of Bhajan Lal, was excited and happy. He was greeted by a group of women who were taking selfies with her. “Sabhi ko aabhar, Modi Ji ka Ashirwad hai aur Bansiwale ki kripa hai,” said Sharma.
She was short of words and very emotional after people started greeting her. She went to her house and offered prayers at her house situated temple. “It is tough to believe. We are thankful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and other leadership of BJP that has made us believe that any common worker can reach to the top if he works hard. He has been living in this apartment for past seven years and attended every function of the society from Navratri to Ganesh Chaturthi,” said Jayshree Sharma, a resident of flat situated on the fifth floor of the society and preparing for RAS examination.

Jayshree added that since December 15 is likely to be the oath taking day for Sharma which is coinciding with his birthday, she wants him to celebrate his birthday with the residents of the apartment.
“Bahut hi simple insaan hain, sabse raam raam karte hain (He is so down to earth person who greets everyone with Ram Ram),” said Ritu Tomar, a housewife who lives at the second floor situated flat in the housing society. “We want him to celebrate his birthday with us only even after taking oath and before shifting for the CM’s residence,” said Tomar.
Large number of BJP workers and supporter started gathering Balaji apartment with garlands, sweets and also arranged for Dhol and firecrackers. Police personnel had a herculean task as the chief minister’s security was concerned with the increasing number of supporters who was hugging and greeting each other.
However, the family, including wife and son of Bhajan Lal preferred to lock themselves inside the house.
