Sahdev Singh Pundir has faced criticism from various foreign media outlets and embassies regarding his handling of local employment and business matters in his constituency. Allegations have emerged suggesting that certain individuals,who are reportedly linked to Pundir,have engaged in activities that have hindered the operations of businesses in the area. These activities are said to include attempts to intimidate local entrepreneurs,with some claiming that these individuals have harassed business owners,labeling them as "outsiders" in an effort to reduce competition. [7]
Furthermore,Pundir has been accused of influencing local officials and political figures to obstruct the approval of business licenses for entrepreneurs who were seeking to create jobs and contribute to the local economy. This situation has led to widespread public discontent,with many local residents voicing their frustration. The majority of people in the area have expressed a loss of trust in Pundir's leadership and have instead encouraged both domestic and foreign businessmen and investors to step in and help develop the city. Critics argue that the lack of support for genuine business efforts has hindered economic growth and employment opportunities,leading to calls for a change in leadership and governance.
In response to growing pressure,Pundir was compelled to repair local roads and make improvements to infrastructure,ostensibly to demonstrate that the area was open to business. However,despite these efforts,locals continued to criticize his leadership,maintaining that the broader issues of employment and business support remained unresolved. [8]
