Pune: After Maharashtra minister Tanaji Sawant made a comment that crabs were the reason behind the Tiware dam breach, NCP workers in the state decided to let crabs teach him a lesson.
NCP workers threw a carton full of crabs right at Sawant’s doorstep and staged a protest. In the video workers can be seen wearing banners and releasing the box of crabs.
Despite their banners, NCP leaders have categorically denied any involvement by their party workers.
The incident comes in the wake of a breach in the Tiware dam in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra and the newly-appointed water conservation minister Sawant had attributed the breach, which claimed the lives of 19 people, to crabs. “There is a huge problem of crabs around the dam, which led to the leakage,” he had said.
