The video of the exchange between Barabanki MP Priyanka Singh Rawat and Ajay Kumar Dwivedi last evening in Chaila village of the district has gone viral.
In the video footage, Rawat is heard threatening the IAS officer: "'Main tumhara jeena mushkil kar doongi'(I will make your life difficult) in Barabanki if my workers face even an iota of difficulty."
Asked for her comment, the 32-year-old MP said Dwivedi walked away without listening to her when she was discussing the matter.
The incident took place when Rawat apparently lost her cool seeing the opposition of locals against an anti- encroachment drive by a team of government officials led by Dwivedi, who is currently posted as a sub-divisional magistrate.

In the video, Rawat, can be heard asking Dwivedi if he has any etiquette.
"I am standing here for the people of the area and you are walking away...you have to work for the people of the area and not for yourself. Learn about protocol and how people's representatives have to be given respect," she said in Barabanki, about 30km from Lucknow.
"We are educated people and know what language has to be used. We are not illiterate people. You can get an enquiry done into what kind of language was used by the said person (the trainee IAS officer)," the MP said.
Giving his version of what happened, Dwivedi said a team of revenue department officials and police was sent to clear an alleged encroachment on a pond and a primary school on government land, but they were stopped from doing so. Later, the MP also reached there.
In April this year, Rawat was in the news for telling a police officer that she would "skin him alive".
