Kolkata, Sept 18: Union Minister Babul Supriyo stoked a controversy on Tuesday, while speaking at an event for the differently-abled people at Asansol, his parliamentary constituency. Irked by a man who moving to and fro in the hall while he was delivering a speech, Supriyo lost his cool and said he would break his leg.

In the video shared by news agency ANI, Supriyo could be heard saying, "What is your problem? I can break your one leg and then give you a clutch. Now go and stand in the corner." Union Minister Babul Supriyo Said Government is Keen to Promote Electric Vehicles.

At the event, Supriyo was invited to distribute wheelchair and clutches to the differently-abled people of his constituency.

This is not the first time the Minister has drawn flak for his motormouth remarks. In May this year, while visiting the riot-victims in Asansol, Supriyo had threatened the protesting TMC workers, saying, "I will skin you alive."

The remarks had drawn sharp flak from the Opposition, which called it an attempt by Supriyo to intimidate the minorities. The BJP leader, however, clarified saying that his angst was directed only against the local Trinamool cadres who were not allowing him to meet the riot victims.
