A video of Maharashtra School Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar rebuking a woman over her question about ‘delay’ in teachers’ recruitment went viral on social media on Tuesday. The incident took place in Beed when the minister was meeting some candidates for school teacher’s posts.

Kesarkar, who belongs to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, later said in his reaction that the woman was not following discipline during the interaction. In the video, the woman, apparently aspiring to be a government school teacher, is heard asking the minister about ‘delay’ in the recruitment process, and saying they are tired of waiting.
