Protesters from the Congress party and farmer organisations surrounded the Rewa home of BJP MP Janardan Mishra after his comments on farmers, prompting police to fire tear‑gas shells and deploy water jets.
In Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, the house of BJP Member of Parliament Janardan Mishra was surrounded by a large crowd of Congress activists and farmer groups. The protest was triggered by remarks made by the MP that were perceived as critical of the farming community.
The demonstrators set up a continuous encirclement around the residence, demanding a clarification and an apology for the comments. Several local farmer organisations joined the rally, amplifying the pressure on the elected representative.
Law enforcement agencies responded by deploying tear‑gas shells to disperse the crowd. Simultaneously, fire‑brigade personnel sprayed water to control the situation and prevent escalation. The police action was aimed at maintaining public order while the protest continued for several hours.
