Rajgarh MP touches officials’ feet in protest over delay:’Made to wait like a fool for 90 minutes’, says Rodmal Nagar

An unusual scene unfolded at a government programme in Rajgarh district when BJP MP Rodmal Nagar expressed his anger over officials arriving late by stepping down from the stage and touching their feet in protest.
Visibly upset, the MP said he was made to wait “like a fool” for nearly one-and-a-half hours. The incident took place on Tuesday during the Jal Arpan programme in Kundibeh village. Officials arrive late, programme delayed According to information, MP Rodmal Nagar and local MLA Amarsingh Yadav reached the venue on time. However, senior officials—including Kamal Kishore Soan, Additional Secretary of the Jal Jeevan Mission from Delhi, Water Corporation Managing Director KVS Choudhary Kolsani, and other administrative officers—arrived much later than scheduled. Due to their delay, the programme was held up for around 90 minutes, triggering the MP’s public protest. First, see three pictures… “Events alone are not enough, work must be seen on the ground” Addressing the gathering, Nagar criticised the culture of formal events without accountability. He said merely organising programmes achieves nothing unless work is implemented effectively on the ground. His dramatic gesture and sharp remarks were captured on video, which quickly sparked discussions in administrative and political circles. MP clarifies: Anger was over project delay, not individuals When asked later about the incident, Nagar clarified that his anger was not directed at any particular officer. Instead, it stemmed from delays in the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission project. He said that providing 24-hour clean tap water to villages like Kundibeh was a major achievement, but such flagship projects demand discipline, responsibility, and strict adherence to timelines. Kundibeh becomes a national example With the launch of a round-the-clock water supply, Kundibeh has become one of the first villages in the country to receive 24-hour potable water through taps, turning it into a model for others. However, the MP’s words and actions at the event have overshadowed the achievement, keeping the incident in the spotlight across political and administrative circles.
