I’m Kalki, can’t attend office: Guj govt officer

- ▪ letters@hindustant­imes.com

AHMEDABAD: A Gujarat government official has claimed that he is Kalki, the 10th incarnatio­n of Vishnu, and can’t come to office because he is conducting a “penance” to “change the global conscience”.

Thanks to his penance, the country is getting good rains, said Rameshchan­dra Fefar, superinten­ding engineer with the Sardar Sarovar Punarvasva­t Agency (SSPA), in reply to a show-cause notice served to him.

The notice and his bizarre reply have gone viral.

“Even if you don’t believe, I am indeed the 10th incarnatio­n of Lord Vishnu and I will prove it in coming days. I realised that I am Kalki avatar when I was in my office in March 2010. Since then, I am having divine powers,” Fefar said, speaking to media at his Rajkot house on Friday.

In his reply to the show-cause notice issued by the agency three days ago, Fefar, who is in his late 50s, stated he could not come to office as he is busy with penance.

“I am doing penance at home by entering into fifth dimension to change the global conscience .... I can’t do such penance sitting in office,” the two-page reply said.

Because of his ongoing penance, India is getting good rainfall for the last 19 years, it claimed.

The SSPA should decide “whether it’s more important for the agency to make me sit in the office and do time pass or do some concrete work to save the country from drought,” he said.
