A hilarious tweet read Kumari was perhaps the first INC leader to carry her party symbol on her face (palm being the party symbol of the INC).

Congress MLA Asha Kumari slaps a woman constable and gets slapped back and after that Asha slapped constable again. So Asha managed to slap 2 times & Constable only 1 time. It is a Moral Victory of Congress. Asha is also happy that she got a tight congress symbol on her face.

Congress MLA Asha Kumari should have known assaulting government servant on duty punishable offence. Well done constable for hitting back the arrogant leader. Hope leaders learn virtues of modesty & humility. We live in democracy in which all are equal & leaders aren’t above law
