Madhya Pradesh Congress Leader's Remarks Spark Political Outrage
Umang Singhar, a leader from the Congress party in Madhya Pradesh, has gotten into trouble again.
He made some very strong comments about a top government official, the Chhindwara Collector, saying the official was acting like they worked for the opposing party.
Singhar has a history of using provocative methods, like using a dog to deliver a memo to the same official in a previous instance.
The BJP, the opposing political party, is not happy with Singhar's comments and says he should not insult officials.
This situation has made a local issue about fertilizer shortages become a bigger political fight.

The comments were made during the swearing-in of a new Congress District President.
