Kolhapur: Maharashtra minister of water resources Girish Mahajan received flak on social media after he uploaded a selfie video of himself on Friday.
The BJP minister had gone for an inspection of the flood-hit areas along with some police officials and party workers.
Opposition leaders slammed his video as the minister can be seen smiling and waving amid the flooded area.
He was heavily criticised for being insensitive towards flood-affected people.
