The incident occurred when Satish Poonia, a senior BJP leader and former Rajasthan state president, visited Barmer on his birthday.
During the visit, Poonia made a light-hearted comment praising Tina Dabi's efforts in improving cleanliness in Barmer, saying, "You are getting the cleaning done by bullying, Barmer will also become like Indore."
In the video, Tina Dabi is seen nodding respectfully while Poonia praises her work. This gesture has sparked a debate, with some social media users lauding Dabi for her professionalism and respect toward public representatives.
However, others criticised the act, arguing that an IAS officer should maintain a degree of formality with politicians.
Satish Poonia, a key figure in Rajasthan politics, is currently overseeing BJP activities in Haryana, where the party has seen significant electoral success.
