Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh): Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Prahlad Patel was spotted lashing out at officials in Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri, during which he also allegedly used inappropriate language, as reported on Friday.
A video of the incident has also surfaced on social media, which is being circulated widely.
According to information, minister Prahlad Patel was in Devpura village, under Pohri block of Shivpuri district, to attend a public event.
Minister left without addressing speech
The program was part of the Jal Ganga Conservation Campaign, but it took an unexpected turn when the minister harshly scolded the officials present.
Angrily addressing the officers on stage, Patel accused them of being constantly involved in ‘useless activities’ and even used inappropriate language. Visibly upset, he abruptly left the event without delivering his speech. This shocked the gathered crowd and organizers who had been waiting for hours to hear him.
Negligence triggered anger
Before the incident, the minister had visited a local temple and reviewed development works in the area. However, as soon as he took the stage and began discussing administrative matters, some negligence came to light, which triggered his anger.
The entire episode was captured on mobile phones by people present at the event, and the video of the minister’s angry remarks has gone viral on social media. In the clip, his frustration and use of strong words are clearly audible.
Villagers later expressed their disappointment, saying they wanted to raise local issues with the minister but didn’t get the chance.
