Viral Video: The Uttar Pradesh Sports Minister, Girish Chandra Yadav, lost his cool on a media person during the ongoing BJP membership campaign in Jaunpur. The spat escalated to that extent that onlookers had to intervene to mediate between the heated exchange.
Journalist’s Questions Spark Minister’s Fury
This viral video, which was shared on X by user Aditya Tiwari, depicts the visibly agitated minister when he is cornered over the development projects that have been undertaken in his constituency. The mayhem started when one of the journalists asked Yadav about the achievements under the STP project. While Yadav claimed that 90% of the work was completed, the journalist pressed further, questioning the planned schemes and development to come up in the city.
An already-on-the-edge minister hit back with venom when this journalist said that local schemes were essentially riddled with corruption. “Do mint me theek kr dunga,” Yadav exclaimed, adding immodestly that no one had done as much for development since independence as he had. The spat was heating up, and the situation was fast spiraling out of control until bystanders managed to pacify both.
Minister’s Reaction to Scrutiny Sparks Debate
The reaction by Girish Chandra Yadav underlines how political scrutiny and accountability can be so sensitive. A minister of state for urban development, sports among others, Yadav’s political career has seen him rise from Saidpur Paniara village. His electoral victories-most significantly a thumping victory in the 2022 elections-have been quite remarkable. His relation to the RSS and his subsequent victory as a BJP candidate underlines his pivotal role in regional politics.
This becomes a grim reminder of the pressures public figures confront under scrutiny, and the way their composure stands the test of high-stress situations. The incident of this viral video underlines the intensity of political debates and reflects heightened public interest in the conduct and responses of their leaders.
