Bhilai . A video of BJP MLA Rakesh Sen is going viral. In which he is seen threatening a young man by holding his neck. The video is from the MLA’s office in Bhilai.
Actually, the whole matter is about the ruckus over naming. MLA Rakesh Sen, in his excitement, without thinking, announced to name the Nakata pond in Kurud village after Bihar’s folk singer Sharda Sinha. After this announcement, voices of protest against the MLA started rising from all over Chhattisgarh. The villagers also strongly opposed it.
A large number of villagers reached the MLA’s office to protest and laid siege to it. The villagers reprimanded the MLA and asked him why he announced to change the name of the pond which was named after the great Panthi hero late Devdas Banjare to the name of singer Sharda Sinha? MLA Rakesh Sen got badly embroiled in the matter and started arguing with the villagers. During this, he even grabbed the neck of a young man.
In this case, the villagers say that if the pond of Chhattisgarh is to be named, then it should be named after the artists of Chhattisgarh. The villagers say that late Sharda Sinha is known as Bihar Kokila and we respect her completely.
The villagers said that this pond should be named after the late Devdas Banjare who was an international panthi nitya ke patriarch. Meanwhile, after the protest, the name written on the pond was removed.
Arrogance of power – Congress
Chhattisgarh Congress shared a post on X and wrote, Look at the arrogance of power and hatred for Chhattisgarhis. BJP MLA Rakesh Sen is threatening a villager by grabbing his jaw. Despite the opposition of the villagers, the BJP MLA is adamant on naming the Nakata pond of Kurud village after the late Bihar singer Sharda Sinha. The villagers demand that the pond should be named after Chhattisgarh’s folk artist and international Panthi dance legend Late Devdas Banjare.
MLA’s clarification: Was not aware, but stands by the decision
MLA Rakesh Sen is seen presenting his clarification. MLA Rakesh Sen said about the Nakata pond of Kurud that he was not aware that this pond is in the name of late Devdas Banjare. Now he is talking about taking this declaration to the MIC of Bhilai Municipal Corporation. After which it will be sent to the Collector, that is, Rakesh Sen still seems to be adamant on his decision.
Congress is trying to spread propaganda: BJP leader
BJP leader Rajiv Chakraborty said, our MLA Rakesh Sen is a mature leader. Congress is trying to defame him. If you watch the entire video, it will be clear that both the parties are sitting together and talking with mutual consent. Rakesh Sen is young. He must have definitely got a little agitated, but it is very wrong to twist it. Congress thinks that it is wrong to defame BJP leaders.
