What was meant to be a celebratory evening at the Kunjapuri Mela in Tehri, Uttarakhand, during Navratri turned into a public face-off. A video now viral on social media shows state Cabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal walking up to Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi on stage and questioning his condition, accusing him of performing under the influence of alcohol.
What the Minister Said
In the clip, Uniyal asks the singer, “Bol toh jaa nahi raha, gaana kya gaoge?” (You can’t even speak properly, so how will you sing?)
He goes on to say, “Itna paisa deke aapko humne bulaya hai. Iss liye bulaya taaki humare logon ko entertain ho. Aap bewakoof bana rahe hai humein. Galat baat hai. You are a big name. Aapko iss liye bulaya gaya tha kyunki aap bada naam hai.” (We invited you after paying so much money, so that our people could be entertained. You are making a fool of us. This is wrong. You are a big name, and that is why you were invited.)
