Watch | 'Will skin you alive,' says BJP MP Priyanka Rawat to cop

BJP MP Priyanka Rawat have been accused of misbehaving with officials in UP, police said on Thursday.

In Barabanki, local MP Rawat allegedly used foul language against ASP Kunwar Gyananjay Singh during a press conference on Wednesday, saying she would make him pay for all the clout he enjoyed during the previous SP government. "I will get all the malai out, khaal bhi khichwa lungi (I will get all the illegal wealth seized, will skin you alive)," she said.

When she was asked about the kind of words that she used, she did not retract. She rather said, "They have reaped enough under the previous government. Khaal utaar denge if they do not work properly." 

Alleging that Singh was shielding a murder accused, Rawat threatened to make him pay for the arbitrary manner in which he worked and indulged in property dealing during the previous regime.

SP Vaibhav Krishna said the video of the press conference is being examined and if necessary, an FIR will lodged against the MP.

Rawat also said the situation has now changed and officials who do not bring a change in their working manner will be pulled up. "We have Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government at the centre and Yogi Adityanath's government in Uttar Pradesh. Only those who perform will stay in this district. If their conduct doesn't improve, then we will take strict action and their record will be checked," ​she warned.

The incident come on close on the heels of charges against BJP's Saharanpur Raghav Lakhanpal that he had indulged in violence in a village and vandalised the residence of the area's SSP.
