A political row erupted after a viral video showed Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma allegedly slapping a man during an inspection of a newly constructed road in Tilak Nagar. The confrontation followed a dispute over the quality of road construction between Verma and local AAP MLA Jarnail Singh.
Parvesh Verma defended his stand by claiming that the individual involved was an AAP-affiliated worker and described him as a 'goon' rather than a youth from Generation Z. Verma stated that AAP workers at the site had abused his family, causing him to lose his temper.
AAP leaders, including national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, strongly criticized the incident and demanded Parvesh Verma's immediate arrest. Kejriwal and other party members accused the minister of high-handedness and unacceptable behavior after video footage of the altercation went viral on social media.
