A Congress MLA in Karnataka was seen on camera abusing and threatening a police officer in an incident that comes as an embarrassment for the party ahead of the state election just months away.
Congress MLA Anand Nymagouda reportedly got upset after a sub-inspector requested him not to carry out civic work at the planned Maulana Abdul Circle in Karnataka's Belagavi district citing possible law and order problems that could also turn communal.
Mr Nymagouda, angry at the suggestion, lashed out at the sub-inspector. In a mobile video, the Congress MLA is seen pointing his finger at the cop and telling him the party would punish him if it comes to power. Karnataka currently has a BJP government.
"I know you have the support of the (BJP) government, but we won't spare you when we (Congress) comes to power," Mr Nymagouda, surrounded by his supporters, is heard telling the sub-inspector.
