Face of Nation : BJD MP Chandrasekhar Sahu on Tuesday was caught on camera slapping a party worker during a meet in Paralakhemundi of Gajapati district in Odisha.
According to sources, Berhampur MP was being felicitated on stage during the BJD’s Extended Executive Meeting when he suddenly lost his temper and slapped Sangram Sahu who has recently joined the party.
The incident took place in the presence of several other party workers and media persons.Earlier, Sahu reportedly was Gajapati District Youth Congress president.
The video which was filmed quickly became viral and started doing rounds on social media following which the minister started receiving serious backlash for his behaviour.
BJP general secretary Bhrugu Baxipatra criticised Sahu over the incident and said that the minister’s “outrageous” and “shameful” conduct has brought a disgrace to the whole state of Odisha. It, however, remains unclear why the sitting MP lost his cool on stage which led to the incident.
