'Monarchy ended but...': Scindia faces backlash as video shows MP rebuke citizen flagging poor roads
This came after a video of Scindia's interaction with a voter went viral on social media, in which the Rajya Sabha MP rebuked a man flagging poor roads.
Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia faced backlash on social media after a video surfaced of him rebuking a voter for using harsh language regarding poor road conditions. The Rajya Sabha MP, who is also the head of the erstwhile Gwalior royal family, told the citizen, "Never use this language in front of me." Scindia, representing the BJP in Madhya Pradesh's Guna constituency, was criticized for his "arrogant" attitude, with some users suggesting that citizens are voters, not subjects in his "kingdom."
The video came to light as Scindia inaugurated development projects in Guna's Bamori area, including a new degree college, a bridge and a power substation, to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday.
