Jivesh Mishra threatens to get cops suspended

Bihar assembly witnessed political drama after labour minister Jivesh Mishra became angry when cops allegedly stopped his car to give way to the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police’s convoy.

The incident took place on Thursday (December 2) when the minister was on his way to attend the Winter session of the Assembly.

A clip of visibly furious Mishra demanding the suspension of the police personnel on duty has gone viral. “I am part of the government. You are simply misbehaving with us,” he told the cops.

Mishra added, “When the SP and DM are coming, they are making ministers wait. I will not enter the Assembly until the cops are suspended.”

Angry Mishra did not stop here and raised issue in the assembly. He demanded the House to decide whether a minister is subordinate to a bureaucrat. He said that he could not come to the House on time as his car was stopped by cops. Minister Mishra said that he would not join the assembly session till the actions are taken against Patna DM Chandrashekhar Singh and SSP Upendra Sharma.
