In an appalling show of arrogance, a BJP MLA in Uttar Pradesh threatens a Muslim vegetable seller outside his home and warns him against “being seen anywhere in the area”. The vendor, repeatedly asked to state his name, had given a Hindu name, and brought upon himself a torrent of abuses from Brijbhushan Rajput.The ruling BJP’s notice to another party MLA for urging people to boycott Muslim vegetable vendors amid the nationwide coronavirus lockdown apparently had no effect on Mr Rajput, who is on camera intimidating the vegetable seller and his young son outside his home in Lucknow.The MLA from Charkhari in the state’s Mahoba district has unabashedly owned the video and his comments.
