In October, the then Ladpura (Rajasthan) BJP MLA allegedly abused and threatened to slap a government official over delay in procurement of lentils during a visit to a market.

"If I slap you, you will urinate in your pants," MLA Bhawani Singh Rajawat had told deputy registrar of Rajasthan State Co-operative Marketing Federation Limited (RAJFED) Ajay Singh Panwar.

Rajawat was visiting the Bhamashah Mandi to take stock of procurement of urad dal when he allegedly lost his temper after the farmers said there were irregularities in the process.
