Maharashtra government employees working at the Mantralaya, the state secretariat, today went on a flash strike after an MLA allegedly manhandled an official there.
They alleged that Bachchu Kadu, Independent MLA from Achalpur, beat up Deputy Secretary Bhausaheb Gavit.
Kadu has however denied the assault charge.
A Mantralaya staffer said that the MLA was incensed after Gavit refused to allot government accommodation to a clerk who has already been allotted a (government) house.
