BJP MLA Pritam Lodhi warns of "denting-painting" for anyone disrupting CM's Pichhore event

A statement by BJP MLA Pritam Lodhi ahead of Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav's programme in Pichhore has drawn attention. A statement by the BJP district president had also drawn attention earlier. Lodhi has warned that anyone who obstructs the event to release funds under the Ladli Behna Yojana will be given "denting-painting".

Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav is to attend a programme at Chhatrasal Stadium in Pichhore on November 13. From here, the scheme's instalment will be released into the accounts of Ladli Behnas across the state. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is also scheduled to attend. Preparations are under way.

In a video that has gone viral, Lodhi says the Chief Minister is coming for the Ladli Behna event and funds will be released from this place into the accounts of Ladli Behnas across Madhya Pradesh. He said that if anyone obstructs the event, tries to create a disturbance or tears banners and posters, the administration will act first, and the responsibility will lie with the administration.

The MLA went on to say that if the administration slips up, he expects his "diamond" workers in Pichhore not to spare such people at all, and to take them aside and give them "denting-painting". He also appealed to everyone to respect the event and not interfere with it, since the Ladli Behnas' money will be released from the soil of Pichhore.

Lodhi had earlier made a similar statement on August 16 at an event marking the birth anniversary of Rani Avanti Bai Lodhi in Karera. His video went viral on social media at the time. He had said some people understand not through words but through kicks. Citing the example of Krishna and Shishupala, he had spoken of enduring 99 abuses and administering "denting-painting" at the 100th.

The statement, coming just before the Chief Minister's programme in Pichhore, has once again started a discussion about the MLA's language and his way of issuing warnings.
