'Can break your leg,' says BJP minister Babul Supriyo at event for differently abled


Asansol, Sep 19(ANI): Union Minister Babul Supriyo triggered a controversy after he threatened to "break a man's leg" during a public event for the differently-abled in Bengal's Asansol on Tuesday.

Mr Supriyo, who was invited at Samajik Adhikarita Shivir, an event organised to donate wheelchairs and other equipment for the differently-abled, got upset at someone from the public and said, "Why are you moving? Please sit down."

The controversial statement came when Mr Supriyo reportedly lost his cool after a man distracted him with his continuous movement. The Union Minister snapped back at the man, saying, "What happened to you? Any problem? I can break one of your legs and can give you a crutch."

Mr Supriyo then ordered his security personnel to break the man's leg and hand him a crutch if he dared to move further from his place. He then asked the audience to give a big round of applause to the man.

This is not the first time that the singer-turned-politician has made such statements.

In March, Mr Supriyo was on a visit to Asansol, which was one of the areas affected by communal violence following Ram Navami celebrations in the state, when he reportedly lashed out at the agitating crowd, saying he will skin them alive.

    BJP minister Babul Supriyo should learn from the value of life from Chief Minister Parikar and Union Minister Ananth Kumar who are suffering from pancreatic cancer.

    Union Minister Babul Supriyo inhumane behavior to a new level when he threatened to break the leg of a differently abled man because the latter’s constant fidgeting was causing him distraction at a function.

    This is not the first time the MP from Asansol has made insensitive comments. In March this year, Supriyo, a singer-turned-politician, had threatened to ‘rip off’ his constituent’s skin after he joined the protest against him in his own constituency Asansol in the wake of a communal flare up.

    Ironically this motor-mouth minister is part of 'PM Modi's 'Good governance'.
