Superintendent Engineer with the Sardar Sarovar Punarvasvat Agency (SSPA) Rameshchandra Fefar made the remarks in response to a notice he was served for only coming to his Vadodara office on 16 days in the past eight months.
The SSPA stated in the notice that such an unauthorised absence is not befitting a gazetted officer and that his absence was hampering the work of the agency.
The notice and Fetar’s bizarre reply have gone viral on various social media sites.
“Even if you don’t believe, I am indeed the tenth 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 on March 2010. Since then I have had divine powers,” Fefar told media personnel at his home in Rajkot on Friday.
In response to the notice from the SSPA, the official claimed that he is doing penance at home by entering into fifth dimension to change the global conscience.
Fefar, who is in his late 50s said, “I can’t do such penance sitting in office.”
India has been getting good rainfall for the last 19 years because of his penance, he claimed. “Just because I am Kalki’s Avatar, India got good rains.”
The agency should decide “whether it’s more important to make me sit in the office and do time pass or do some concrete work to save the country from drought”, he added.
The SSPA handles the rehabilitation of people affected by the Sardar Sarovar Project.
