BJP MP Maneka Gandhi has allegedly threatened a small time transport operator of getting his vehicle licenses cancelled as he had complained against stray dog menace in his area.
In the audio released by independent journalist Deepika Narayan Bharadwaj, a female voice supposedly of BJP MP Maneka Gandhi can be heard threatening a man who runs a transport business that she will get the licenses of all his vehicles cancelled for complaining to get a stray dog and its litter in his neighbourhood to be relocated.
Maneka Gandhi asks “what do you do?” to which the man replies that he runs a transport business. She goes on to ask the name of the company and the number of vehicles he has under his business and adds that she would get the licenses of all the vehicles cancelled.
“You have mentioned that you would relocate the dog and its babies. I am getting the licenses of all your vehicles cancelled. You keep doing what you want. When I have told that the dog will not be moved from that place, it will not move from that place. Understood?”, Maneka Gandhi tells the man.
"I will get license of all ur vehicles cancelled"
Another threatening call by MP @Manekagandhibjp to small time transporter cuz he was requested by residents to take out female dog who had given birth to puppies inside society.
