Amid ongoing tensions in Mandsaur over farmers' protest, a new video of Congress MLA inciting people to set a police station on fire has surfaced. 

The inflammatory speech was caught on camera and has gone viral.

The video was shared on Twitter by Madhya Pradesh BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya and Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga.

According to reports, the MLA was leading a protest march during which supporters burnt the effigy of CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

However, with the incident getting media attention, the Congress lawmaker later denied any wrongdoing and even blamed the police for misbehaving with her.

Meanwhile, farmer protests today spilled over to new areas of Madhya Pradesh even as the epicentre of the agitation, Mandsaur, remained relatively peaceful.

While curfew continued in Mandsaur, except for a two-hour relaxation, incidents of arson were reported from Shajapur and Dhar districts in western part of the state on the eighth day of the agitation for loan waiver and better crop price.

While a truck and two motorbikes were torched by protesters on the Mumbai-Agra highway (NH-3) in Shajapur district, stones were hurled at police personnel in Shajapur town, which witnessed the farmers' unrest for the first time.

Police fired teargas and lathicharged a stone-pelting mob near the local market in Shajapur. Following the incident, prohibitory orders were imposed in Shajapur town under Section 144 of the CrPC.
