The BJP MP from Chandigarh, Kirron Kher, told an audience at an event in her constituency that people who don’t vote for her need to be reprimanded. “If even one person from Deep Complex doesn’t vote for me, it is a highly shameful thing,” she said according to The Indian Express. “They need to be beaten up with slippers.”

“I will make sure the work gets done, but what will you do for me?” Kher said at the gathering.
