Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Bahadur Singh Chauhan from Ujjain's Mahidpur constituency was seen openly threatening to destroy the local police station if no action was taken in a case of a farmer's suicide.
"If the police will not take any action in three days, then we will just destroy the entire police station and would impose curfew," Chouhan said while addressing a mass gathering here in front of the police station on Monday.
Earlier, a Congress worker had alleged the ruling government behind the suicide of a farmer named Tikam Singh, saying that he took this drastic step due to the irregularity in the supply of electricity.
A week before the farmer took his own life, his motor was seized by the electricity company.
However, the BJP has been continuously rejecting the allegation made by the opposition and has also giving a memo to the district administration asking them to probe into the matter.
