Rewa BJP MP Janardan Mishra on Sunday, 29 September , stoked controversy after he publicly threatened to “bury alive” an IAS officer for allegedly taking money from people living in illegal colonies, ANI reported.
While addressing people at an event, the BJP lawmaker accused Municipal Corporation Commissioner Sajjit Yadav of taking bribe from people residing in illegal colonies.
“Call me when Municipal Corporation Commissioner Sajjit Yadav comes to you and asks for money. I will come and dig a pit and bury him alive. In case, I am not able to reach on time then you (people) all have to do that. You all should keep a sharp spade and an axe,” Mishra said.
He further encouraged the crowd to act against Yadav themselves, stating that he is ready to take the responsibility of it even if someone else buried the commissioner alive.
“Even if someone else buries him alive before my arrival, I will take the responsibility and will install a board of my name,” he said, adding that the country will recognise his name that “there is an MP who has buried the Commissioner alive in Rewa.”
