Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad has landed in controversy after a video surfaced showing him slapping a canteen staff member at a government facility in Mumbai. The incident reportedly occurred after Gaikwad complained that the food served was stale and unhygienic.

In the widely circulated video, the MLA is seen angrily confronting the canteen operator, refusing to pay the bill, and abruptly slapping a staffer seated at the billing counter. He can be heard berating the quality of food and demanding accountability, but his aggressive behavior has drawn sharp criticism from both political opponents and the public.

While Gaikwad has not issued a formal apology yet, Shiv Sena is reportedly reviewing the incident internally. The video has triggered debates around the conduct expected from elected representatives and the need for proper grievance redressal mechanisms.

This isn’t the first time Gaikwad has been caught in a controversy, raising questions about repeated misuse of power by public officials in India.
