Axe in hand, Khattar tells supporter: 'Will chop-off your head'

Evidently, the video brought Khattar in the news, and for all the wrong reasons.

Slamming the BJP leader's behavior, Congress' Randeep Singh Surjewala said, "If this is what he says to his leader, wonder what will he do with the public?"

Sardonically, he told Khattar anger and arrogance are bad for health.

After the row, Khattar defended himself and said that the party worker didn't feel bad at all.

In fact, he put the blame on "Congress' culture" by stating, "If someone, especially my party worker, tries to place a silver crown on my head, I will get angry and not tolerate it. We have ended this culture after coming to power."

Khattar is known for stirring up controversies.

Just last month, while commenting on Haryana's sex-ratio, Khattar sparked a massive row by saying that daughters-in-law can be "brought" from Jammu and Kashmir too, now that the border state's special status is gone.

To note, as per 2011 census, Haryana has 879 females per 1,000 males, making its sex-ratio the worst in India.

Separately, Khattar announced various schemes for different sections of the society including entrepreneurs, watchmen, sanitation workers, on Thursday.

He launched insurance schemes for 3.86 lakh registered small and medium traders of Haryana and added that these traders will be insured for up to Rs. 5 lakh.

Further, entrepreneurs will be eligible for compensation between Rs. 5-25 lakh, depending on the turnover.
