New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Ashwini Choubey , who is facing accusations of violation of model code of conduct ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, found himself in deep waters after a video of him surfaced online where he can be seen hurling expletives at a Sub District Magistrate (SDM) here after the official had stopped his convoy for violation of MCC.

Choubey was caught on camera having a verbal altercation with SDM KK Upadhyay on Saturday night, who tried to stop his convoy as it had more than the permitted number of vehicles.

In the video, a furious Choubey sitting on the front seat of a vehicle can be seen furiously reacting to the official who attempts to apprise the Union Minister about election commissions order.

“What’s the issue? Who's order is it. Send me to jail if you have to do something. This is my vehicle and you cannot seize it,” says Choubey to an official who in turn informs him that EC’s order is to confiscate the vehicles and not the individual and they will look into it.
Later speaking to media persons Upadhyay said that action will be taken as per the provisions of law.
“There was no permission for vehicles but it has been reported that there were many vehicles parked here at Zila Maidan. There were about 30-40 vehicles in the convoy and action will be taken over it,” he said.
“His language is his concern. The case will be registered for every vehicle that was in the convoy,’ added Upadhyay.
Union minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey is the sitting Member of Parliament from Buxar and has been once again fielded by BJP from the same constituency for the Lok Sabha elections 2019.

A video of the entire episode is circulating on the social media. Watch the video here:
