About a year later, for the first time, he raised his voice in search of a motor worthy road for his remote village in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh, Youtuber leela saahu On Wednesday, the first signs of progress were seen, as the construction equipment arrived to plug the broken patch on the way out of his village.
The 22 -year -old, which is in the last week of pregnancy, said that development came after the local Congress MLA raised the matter. “Today, some people came and started construction work near my village,” Leela told The Indian Express. “I came to know that this was the local MLA, Ajay Singh Rahul, who took the initiative. They are now trying to fix the worst parts of the road so that at least vehicles can go inside and out.”
MLA from Churat Assembly constituency Ajay confirmed that the repair was being done on his initiative. “When this woman talked about her plight, the local MP said he would transport it on his fixed date. It was unfortunate, and I thought, let me do at least something so that I can pass through the vehicle. I have been trying for a year to build this road, but no one listened. So, I am building a few kilometers with my own resources.”
Leela’s expedition, which began with Vlog and Reels, showing the collapse of 8-kimi stretch between Khaddi rough and nearest hospital, became a rally for the infrastructure in the region for infrastructure. Since 2024, he has tagged several leaders in his video, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and local BJP MP Rajesh Mishra.
His message attracted national attention earlier this year when he criticized Mishra for failing to act, indicating him to respond with a controversial comment. Mishra said, “Every delivery has a fixed date. If she wants, she can be recruited early. We will provide all facilities including food and water,” Mishra said, saying that the transport system will be done a week before her due date.
Reacting to the MP’s statement, Leela said, “I was unhappy. I don’t trust these promises. Finally, I still have to depend on an ambulance. My only hope is that when the time comes, it can really reach my home.”
Residents of Khadi Kurd still rely on tractors or private vehicles to reach the hospital, and thick roads often delay emergency care.

An official from Sidi district said that a formal road scheme is in the pipeline. “After a survey, a 5-kimi road was proposed under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in March 2025 after a survey. The work will begin after the state level approval.”
Leela said, “The women of the village are happy that the roadwork has started. We hope that the ambulance will not be trapped anymore.”
