arguing with Chaudhary to leave the place saying ‘App bhi bahar niklo yaha se (you should also leave). A moment later, amidst the heated argument, Devnani pushed him. Chaudhary was then gheroed by a group of people who appeared to be BJP supporters.

Defending his move, Devnani said that while at the polling booth, I was greeting voters and some mediapersons who had come for the interview. “I was out of the polling booth giving bite to the media which was objected by the Congressman. He argued that I am giving my interview within the 200 metres from the polling booth. I was already far away from the polling booth. I also asked him to leave if he is not a voter,” said Devnani.

TOI called up Chaudharu but was not available for the comment. However, Congress spokesperson Muzaffar Bharti said that the video grab clearly shows that minister is misbehaving our party worker. “Such a behaviour is not acceptable from a person who is holding a high constitutional post,’’ he added.
