Former Minister of State Rambabu Harit said that he was leading the funeral, and the MLA did not like this.
“They(MLA supporters) were removing me again and again. I told the MLA why they are doing this and I defended myself. But suddenly the MLA started abusing me and even pushed me. I did not say anything as he is an honourable MLA,” he said.
However, the MLA said the former Minister was making a video of the funeral, and the women of the family were cleaning the road with their ‘pallu'( Saree). “I just asked him to go on the side of the road as women are cleaning the road, which annoyed him and he started a fight with me,” he said.
