In a protest over bad crop in the region, BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh's Guna, KP Yadav on Tuesday, 27 August, courted controversy for his derogatory remarks on a woman District Collector.
Yadav, upset over the DC not meeting him during the protest, said that the collector played up to previous MPs, but doesn’t care now that he had come to check on the situation.
“She earlier used to visit every village to meet previous MPs and kiss their feet. Today, an MP himself came and if she can’t address the issues, I’ll sit here on the road.”KP Yadav, BJP MP
Yadav was speaking during the sit-in in MP's Ashoknagar. He had only recently joined the protests that had been going on due to the bad crop in Ashok Nagar. Yadav was speaking outside the collector's office in the region.
Yadav became the MP from the region after defeating Congress Leader Jyotiraditya Scindia by more than 1 lakh votes in the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year.
