After participating in the ‘Gandhi-150’ programme at the party office, he was speaking to party workers for some time. When she was about to leave the party office, Youth Congress workers gheraoed her and expressed their wrath.
The party workers said that the district minister did not come to their rescue in related to untoward incidents, clash and lathicharge in front of the SP office during Bharat Bandh. They said that the district minister did not listen to their problems.
“When the party workers were caned and admitted to hospital for treatment, the district minister did not listen to their grievances and enquired about their health. Instead of it, the minister has gone to the house of SP, and had food. As party workers, we want justice. So, you should transfer the SP immediately”, the party workers demanded.
Responding to the sudden development, the Minister said that she had spoken to the SP over phone as soon as she came to know about the issue and even she had spoken to the district leaders as well. “Don’t try to threaten me keeping the media people here”, she vented her ire against the party workers and left the place.

Teenager beheaded in 4-decade-old fight over land in UP's Jaunpur; revenue officer suspended
Jaunpur (UP), Oct 30: A 17-year-old boy was beheaded with a sword in a fight over a piece of land in Kabiruddinpur village of this district on Wednesday, police said.
The dispute over the land is 40 years old and the matter is currently in a civil court, according to district administration officials.
While District Magistrate Dinesh Chandra suspended Lekhpal (local revenue officer) Jagdish Yadav, a report has been sent to the administration for action against Revenue Inspector Munni Lal, who oversees the area, the officials said.
Superintendent of Police Ajaypal Sharma said the violence was a consequence of a land dispute between villagers Ramjeet Yadav and Lalta Yadav.
"Ramesh Yadav, son of Lalta Yadav, began clearing grass from the disputed land ahead of Diwali this morning that flared up the tension," he said.
"During the confrontation, Ramesh attacked Anurag Yadav, son of Ramjeet Yadav, with a sword and decapitated him," he added.
Lalta Yadav was arrested after the incident and a hunt is on for his son Ramesh.
Additional police forces have been stationed in the village to prevent any further flare-ups.
An FIR has been registered against six individuals in connection with the case at Gaurabadshahpur police station.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav decried the violence and alleged there was no law and order left in the state.
"There is a strange contradictory relationship between today's government and crime. On one hand, both are together, on the other hand, the weaker and more inactive the government is becoming, the more powerful and active the criminals are becoming. Today's UP says we don't want BJP," he said on X.
Additional District Magistrate (ADM) R A Chauhan has been appointed to conduct a magisterial inquiry in the case and submit a report within three days.
In a statement, District Magistrate Chandra condemned the crime as "heinous" and assured strict administrative action against those responsible.
He further said the dispute is 40 years old and is currently under civil court review.
