In the video, it was clearly seen that Raghuvanshi snapped at the employee after he told him that four lakh electricity bill was due to him. However, this is not the first time BJP leaders had courted any controversy. Last month, a video of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Harshvardhan Bajpai of threatening and abusing the Allahabad Superintendent of Police had gone viral. The MLA had lost his cool after SP didn’t recognise and allegedly stopped him when he came to attend the meeting hosted by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Last year, a video of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Muzaffarnagar Vikram Saini was surfaced showing him bragging about threatening police personnel and officials. The legislator, instead of appealing to the people to follow rules, bragged about how he used his power to get a traffic challan canceled.
