Congress MLA Abhay Mishra sparks controversy by calling Rewa SP 'Ardhanarishwar'; alleges Rs 50 lakh monthly bribe
BHOPAL: A video of INC MLA from Semariya in Rewa district, Abhay Mishra, referring to Rewa SP as 'Ardhanarishwar' has gone viral on social media. On Tuesday, INC leaders — including the state President and the Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly — staged protests in Rewa under the party's Nyay Satyagraha, raising several issues, including the registration of an FIR against Mishra following a complaint by a former employee who alleged that the MLA had thrashed him. During the protest meeting, Mishra triggered a fresh controversy by making derogatory remarks and corruption allegations against the district's top police officer. Speaking from the stage, Mishra — the only Congress MLA from Rewa district — appeared visibly agitated as he targeted the Superintendent of Police (SP), calling him 'Ardhanarishwar' and explaining the term in a disparaging manner. He also accused the IPS officer of 'bowing to ministers' and accepting a monthly bribe of Rs 50 lakh. His remarks have drawn sharp criticism, with many questioning the propriety of a public representative using such language against a senior officer in an open forum. Mishra could not be contacted for comment. Earlier, on 25 July, Abhishek Tiwari, who claimed to be a former employee of Mishra, approached the police alleging that the MLA and his aides had assaulted him with lathis at the legislator's farmhouse over a payment dispute. A case was subsequently registered against Mishra. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
