MP Manoj Tiwari misbehaves with School Teacher but kneels before Bollywood Actress

• Manoj Tiwari is the BJP MP who came in media highlights for his verbal assault on a teacher
• The MP who was invited to a cultural event in UP celebrating the birth anniversary of Munshi Premchand
• However, he did take out time to meet some of his friends from Bollywood

August 2, 2017: "You do not have manners to speak to an MP?" (Translated) were BJP MP Manoj Tiwari's words to a primary school teacher, enraged at her for requesting him to sing at a school function in the presence of CCTV cameras. Continuing his rant, he had asked the teacher to get off the stage and probed all present officers to take an action against her. Tiwari later received a lot of flak for the video, which had surfaced in May this year.

However, when Bollywood actors Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma reached Varaṇasi on July 31 to promote their upcoming movie 'Harry Met Sejal', the BJP MP was the first in line to join them for the promotions.

Tiwari was not only gracious enough to host the event for the actors but also very willingly knelt on his knees throughout the event to perform songs for Anushka. The highlight of the event was when he sang a Bhojpuri song while the crowd rejoiced during the promotional event held at a private institute.

Need we remind you, this is the same BJP MP who had misbehaved with a female teacher over her request to sing at a school function.

If this wasn't news enough, the MP who recognizes himself as his 'people's person' got so involved with the stars that he failed to interact with locals on his visit to the PM's Parliamentary constituency. Tiwari chose to be associated with such an event while the people of Varanasi were expecting a discussion for the development of the constituency from him, given his contacts and his high-profile image.

However, what further hurt the sentiments of the people of UP was not the enthusiasm the MP showed for the promotion of a film he is not associated with whatsoever, but his willingness to forego a cultural event scheduled at village Lamhi.

The President of the Delhi unit of BJP failed to fulfill a political commitment of attending a cultural event scheduled at village Lamhi to celebrate the birth anniversary of Munshi Premchand.

So much for being an artist, we'd say!

While these developments may not gather national attention, the people of Varanasi are sure to hold Tiwari accountable for his involvement in such foolish and murky dealings.
