A woman’s anger boiled over as she confronted MLA Ishwar Singh in the flood-affected village of Ghula, Haryana. The entire village had been engulfed by floodwaters due to the overflowing Ghaggar river, a result of heavy rainfall over the past four days. In the midst of the chaos and frustration caused by their submerged homes, the MLA decided to visit the area.
When the MLA arrived, the distressed villagers surrounded him, expressing their disappointment and anger towards the lack of assistance they had received. One woman, in particular, took her frustration to the extreme and slapped the MLA on the cheek, questioning why he had come at such a late stage. She blamed the situation on the check dam constructed along the river, asserting that it had exacerbated the flooding.
However, the MLA’s aides intervened and clarified that the flood was primarily caused by the heavy rainfall, not the check dam. MLA Ishwar Singh empathized with the woman’s pain and understood her grievances. He assured her that he would take her concerns into account and acknowledged that no immediate action had been taken to address the situation.
It is important to note that Ishwar Singh belongs to the Jananaik Janata Party (JJP), which is an ally of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Despite the incident, no action has been taken against the woman who slapped the MLA. The incident was captured on video and has since been widely circulated on social media, drawing attention to the plight of the flood-affected villagers and their frustration with the authorities’ response.
