New Delhi: The #BoycottMaldives continues. So much so, that a restaurant in Noida (Delhi NCR) has introduced an enticing offer – a free plate of ‘chole bhature’ with every Lakshadweep booking or any cancelled trips to the Maldives.
Joining the #BoycottMaldives campaign, Mr. Bhatura – a restaurant chain in Noida and Ghaziabad – is offering a plate of its ‘special chole bhature’ free for those who have booked a trip to Lakshadweep or cancelled their visit to the Maldives, India Today reported.
“Through this, we want to promote tourism in Lakshadweep. We started this scheme on Saturday and the response has been very good. In the NCR region itself, 10 people have availed the scheme and they have appreciated it. We now plan to extend the scheme till the end of January,” Vijay Mishra, owner of the restaurant, was quoted as saying by India Today.
Speaking about the unique ad, the restaurant chain owner said he came up with the idea after Maldivian ministers started making derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Want a free trip to Lakshadweep? Buy a farm plot or residential plot and enjoy a complimentary trip! Explore the beauty of Indian islands like Andaman and Nicobar,” the ad campaign reads.
The chairperson of the real estate firm said the response to the ad campaign has been impressive, and 50 plots have already been sold.
“You have seen how much revenue the Maldives is generating through tourism and what they have done with India today. We have sold around 50 flats. We are planning to take these 50 people for the tour between January and March,” the firm’s chairman, Ramesh, told IndiaToday.In.
