The animal husbandry minister was seen kicking on the boy's head and proceed to board her car. In the footage it can be seen that the young boy was asking for two rupees from the minister while she was sweeping the road near the bus stand at Panna.
Kusum Mehdele is a BJP legislator from Panna constituency,
Meanwhile all the top officials including the district collector and SP of Panna remained mute spectator when the incident took place.
Kusum Mehdele is yet to respond to questions about her action.A journalist who was present on the occasion said after the incident that they were unable to find the boy to ascertain what had occurred.
The minister gave another bizarre statement in March earlier this year when she advocated for a law to allow people to keep big cats like lions and tigers as pets for their conservation.
