In a fiery clip that’s gone viral, Mahipal Poonia has come down heavily on the electricity department’s so-called smart meters. His statement lays bare people’s frustration with faulty meters, wrong billing, and the government’s failure to control power companies’ alleged high-handedness. Let’s break down what he said — and why it has struck such a chord with the public.
Faulty Meters and Public Anger
Poonia started by pointing out how these smart meters are creating unnecessary problems for common people. He said, “Ho bill meter kharab ho ₹000 th do meter hai thode din pehle.” His point is simple — the meters are not working properly, resulting in incorrect bills that force people to pay much more than what they have actually used.
He didn’t hold back on the government either, adding that it has completely failed to fix the issue, which is only adding fuel to the fire.
Direct Digs at the Government and Officials
Taking a sharp swipe at those in power, Poonia said, “Sarkar hai sankat mein aa gayi ke yo meter lagane mein nakaam riyo, Amit Shah naraj ho.” He made it clear that the smart meter fiasco has become a political headache too.

He even quipped that if these meters are being sold for profit, then why not just hand them over to big corporates like Ambani or Adani — instead of dumping the mess on the common man.
Sarcasm Towards the Police and Law Enforcement
Poonia’s statement didn’t spare the police either. With biting sarcasm, he remarked, “Police hai din bhi bata dio desh mein Vijay Mallya bhaag gyo, Mehul Choksi bhaag gyo, Nirav Modi bhaag gyo. Police ko kaam hai itni bahadur pakad ke le dang le dang le.” His point? The police should show this bravery in catching big fugitives instead of troubling ordinary people and electricity department workers.
And his warning was crystal clear: “Bijli companies ke sa aane ki himmat mat kar, ya chetavni hai.” He’s not backing down — and he wants the power companies to know it.
A Strong Message and a Stern Warning
Wrapping up, Poonia made it clear that while he believes in peaceful protest, he’s not afraid to take stronger action if needed. In his words, “Aaj to main shantipurn aaya lekin main shantipurn aur th mukadma bhi dekh, thari goli bhi dekhi, dekh lega.” Meaning: people are ready to fight for their rights — they won’t be silenced anymore.

Why It Matters
Mahipal Poonia’s bold words reflect the growing resentment towards smart meters and the government’s failure to address people’s concerns. Faulty meters, inflated bills, and poor governance have left people feeling cheated. By calling out officials and the police so openly, Poonia’s statement is rallying many who feel the same.
It’s high time the government and electricity companies pay attention — or else, as he warned, “Lathi pe tel laga lyo…” won’t just be a slogan. The people are ready to hit the streets, lathis in hand, to claim what’s rightfully theirs.
“What do you think — are these smart meter troubles justified, or is Mahipal Poonia’s ‘Lathi pe tel laga lyo…’ warning absolutely right? Share your thoughts!”
