Haryana Minister Anil Vij is once again making headlines, this time over a sharp response to protesters demanding his removal.
When a group of power department workers reportedly raised slogans calling for his ouster, Vij responded with a smile, saying:
"Ek baar dobara lagao. Mazaa aa raha hai."
("Say it once again. I'm enjoying it.")
The remark quickly spread across social media, with supporters praising it as a display of confidence, while critics viewed it as dismissive of the protesters' concerns.
For those familiar with Haryana politics, however, the exchange came as little surprise. Anil Vij has long been known for his outspoken style and direct confrontations with officials, including senior police officers and bureaucrats. His blunt public comments have often made headlines throughout his political career.
Whether admired for his candour or criticised for his approach, Vij continues to cultivate an image of a leader who rarely softens his words under pressure.
As the clip continues to circulate online, the incident has once again placed his distinctive political style at the centre of public discussion.
