Madhya Pradesh Tourism Minister Tukoji Pawar has learnt that might is not always right, as he is in trouble for bullying, even threatening a lady officer.

The minister has been booked for obstructing and threatening an officer from doing her duty.

Pawar met the Sub Divisonal Magistrate in Dewas and demanded that she reject a candidate's nomination papers since he had submitted them late. There was an argument that turned into a show of strength and the minister got personal.

"She is nothing to look at. There is nothing to see," said minister and everyone around burst into laughter.

However, the election commission is not amused.

"The Indian election commission has taken this matter very seriously and is going through all the details and soon will give their verdict," said J S Mathur, Election Commissioner, Madhya Pradesh.

BJP president Rajnath Singh refused to comment and the party has so far been non-committal.

"I am not aware of the facts. I am sure the party has taken note of that and will respond at an appropriate time," said BJP national spokesperson Rudra Prasad Singh.

The BJP is in the reckoning for second chance at power. When so much is at stake on November 27. It cannot afford to court any controversy that may just make the battle for ballot more tough than it already is.
