This entire incident took place at the under construction bus stand of Jamui. About one crore rupees When MLA Prafulla Manjhi reached the spot to inspect the boundary wall being built at a cost of Rs. 1,000, he was enraged after seeing the quality of the bricks being used there.

Woman JE’s clarification, but MLA’s ‘you-tadaak’ continues
Female junior engineer present on the spot soni kumari Tried to pacify the MLA and present his point. He clarified that the department had already given written instructions to the contractor to stop the work, but the contractor ignored the order and continued the work. However, the MLA was not satisfied with this argument.

The ‘tease’ of laying the foundation stone or strictness against corruption?
While on one hand the MLAs are calling it their zero tolerance policy against corruption, on the other hand the discussion in the local corridors is something else. Villagers and local sources say that the boundary wall foundation stone program The MLA was not invited. It is said that in ‘teasing’ about this issue, the MLA vented out all his anger on the female engineer. However, MLA Manjhi rejected these claims and said that he had been making efforts for this project for the last 3 years and he would not allow government money to be wasted.
Public opinion divided on social media
After the video went viral, people on the internet are divided into two groups:
Supporters say: It is the job of a public representative to take the officials to task for misuse of government money. If the work is bad then strictness is necessary.
Arguments of opponents: It is right to raise questions on corruption, but publicly “snapping” a woman officer and shouting at her does not befit the dignity of an MLA.
further position
At present, the lady JE Soni Kumari has maintained silence on this humiliating behavior and has not issued any official statement. The MLA has made it clear that the construction will remain closed until the old bricks are removed and the work is done as per the estimate. Now it remains to be seen whether the department takes action against the contractor or this matter takes a political turn.
