As per the reports, while addressing an election rally in Manipuri, the SP supremo asked the district magistrate Ministhy Dileep to get herself examined and warned her not to interfere with the working of his party workers.

"This is also affecting my elections and it is not tolerable", he said. "She has lost her sense to discriminate between a criminal and a common man. She should get her head checked", Yadav said angrily.
