Grab the collector's & SP's collar if you wish to become a leader, Chhattisgarh minister to kids
Dantewada : Famous for his controversial bold statements excise minister Kawasi Lakhma has once again hit headlines. A video of the minister giving strange suggestions to the children which can provoke them is doing rounds on social media.
In the video, Lakhma is seen saying that if you want to be a big leader, then grab the SP’s & collector's collar with your hand. There has been a ruckus after this strange and poor advice of the minister to hold the collector-SP's collar in the children's program. The video is said to be 4 days old, when the minister arrived to attend the Teacher's Day program at Pavaras government school in Sukma district.
During this event a child asked minister how to become a leader like you and what should we do to reach there. Replying to the kid, the minister told children an old anecdote, “in the program of P L Punia (in charge of state Congress) and CM, the Kanwar caste boy had asked me that I too want to become a great minister like you. How did you reach here? So I said grab the collar of Collector-SP, then you will become a big leader.” This video of Lakhma is now viral on social media.
After the video went viral, BJP has reacted sharply. MLA Shivratan Sharma said that Kawasi Lakhma's statement reflects the culture of the Congress, how to oppress others to become a big leader, that is what the minister is teaching children.
