But in a video that has gone viral, Mr Maithani talks to a man as he bathes; the MLA reportedly barged in and started asking questions.
"Is everything fine? Your house has been successfully constructed? Have you got a ration card," the MLA asks the man who is in the middle of his bath."Yes, Yes," the man replies, soaping himself. The BJP MLA has even posted the picture on his Instagram page.
"I went to a beneficiary's home and congratulated him on the successful completion of home under the housing scheme. I requested him to press lotus (BJP symbol) and elect me as MLA," the MLA wrote.
