Union minister Giriraj Singh on Sunday gave a dressing down to a government official in his Lok Sabha constituency here for apparently showing reluctance to alight from a vehicle while speaking with him.
Singh has been touring flood-affected areas of his Lok Sabha constituency since Saturday.
This morning, while he was travelling on foot, accompanied by supporters, local residents and a Deputy Superintendent of Police Ashish Anand, the car of Nishant, Sub Divisional Officer of Teghra, pulled up close by.
When Singh addressed the official, he replied from within the car, irking the minister's supporters.
The firebrand BJP leader got sore and remarked, "Why would he alight from his vehicle. He is a babu (an honorific used in Bihar to describe bureaucrats). I greet him with folded hands."
