Santosh Bangar, a close associate of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, was accused of verbally abusing and even slapping the manager of a catering company. According to the sources, he was not happy with the quality of food. Allegation against the catering company is that the mid-day meal provided to the workers in Hingoli is not healthy to eat. After receiving this complaint, Santosh went to the office of the catering company. He asked the manager why such food was given. The manager countered that the food, which was claimed to be spoiled, would be replaced. Allegedly, MLA Santosh did not heed the words of the manager. After that he slapped the manager.
