The incident took place in the village of Kutiya Wali, where protests and scuffles erupted. Following the unrest, Kuldeep Bishnoi issued an apology and emphasised a commitment to addressing the concerns raised by the villagers.
Protests and Apologies
On the morning of the incident, Bhavya Bishnoi and Kuldeep Bishnoi arrived in the village with their convoy around 9:30 AM. As they began their campaign at the village’s chaupal (community center), Bhavya started delivering a speech. He claimed that the village had seen development works worth ₹71 lakh. This statement sparked anger among the villagers, who questioned the specifics of the reported development.
A heated exchange ensued between Bhavya Bishnoi and some local youths. During the altercation, a mobile phone belonging to a villager was damaged, escalating tensions. The situation grew more volatile, leading to a scuffle. Kuldeep Bishnoi, attempting to defuse the situation, decided it was best to leave, and he and his son departed in their vehicle.
Kuldeep Bishnoi’s Response
Following the incident, Kuldeep Bishnoi attended a village panchayat (local council) to apologise. He addressed the villagers, expressing that they were like family to him and emphasised that there should be no ego or pride within a family. Bishnoi acknowledged the tension and assured the villagers that there was no intention to disrespect them.
Bishnoi also highlighted his and his son’s past support for farmers during protests, emphasising their commitment to local issues. He expressed gratitude to the villagers for their understanding and urged them to avoid escalating the situation further.
Administrative Action
In response to the incident, the local administration has taken prompt action. The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Pradeep Dahiya requested a detailed report from the Superintendent of Police (SP) Deepak Saharan. The DC also recommended increased vigilance in Adampur to prevent further incidents.
Following the unrest, additional security measures have been put in place for Kuldeep and Bhavya Bishnoi. The administration is also considering extending security provisions to other candidates in the region. SP Deepak Saharan is overseeing the security arrangements and ensuring that all necessary precautions are in place.
Details of the Incident
The trouble began when Bhavya Bishnoi, equipped with a loudspeaker, began addressing the crowd at the chaupal. His claim of ₹71 lakh worth of development work in the village was met with skepticism and demand for details. The ensuing argument led to a confrontation, which escalated when a mobile phone was broken during the fracas.
Kuldeep Bishnoi attempted to mediate but decided to leave when the situation worsened. His departure marked the end of a tense episode that has since drawn significant attention from local authorities and media.
Conclusion
The incident in Adampur highlights the volatile nature of electoral campaigns and the challenges faced by candidates in addressing local grievances. As the election season progresses, the response of Kuldeep Bishnoi and the administrative actions will be closely watched for their impact on the political landscape in Haryana.
