Bihar Digger Operator's Viral Protest: 'No Payment, No Work'
A Bold Stand for Payment
A digger operator from Bihar has captured the attention of social media with a humorous yet assertive video that has gone viral on Instagram. Instead of working, he has parked his excavator in a muddy pond, refusing to move it until he receives payment. His clear message is unmistakable: 'No payment, no work.' In the footage, the operator is seen sitting calmly inside the submerged machine while conversing on the phone with the contractor, managing both the door and the phone simultaneously.
He firmly stated, 'If you don't pay the operator, the machine won't work.' The operator was serious about his demand for payment, saying, 'Once the payment is made, we will pull the machine out of the water. Otherwise, it stays here, sir.' The video shows the excavator partially submerged in muddy water.
His thick Bihari accent adds a unique touch to his message. 'Look at how much water there is, sir... the entire cabin is flooded,' he proudly declared. 'First, pay up. Yes... I am speaking in Bihari. Don't mess with the operators, sir. Please pay immediately.' This was not just a typical complaint; it was a clever and dramatic way to demand his wages.
The video, captioned 'JCB Operator threatens contractor in Bihar: No payment, no machine,' quickly gained traction on social media, turning him into an overnight sensation for his audacious stance.
Posted on Instagram by the account 'official_abhinav,' the video has garnered 2.2 million views across various platforms within just a day. One viewer commented, 'This is such a charming way of speaking... even while being firm.' Another user remarked, 'He is threatening while calling him sir, that's what we call being professional.' A third user noted, 'It's clear that only a Bihari could pull off something like this.'
'Arguing with a Bihari is a life-altering experience,' joked a fourth user. 'Heavy operator,' added another. 'If only corporate workers could show this kind of attitude,' a different user commented. 'This is a perfect example of the saying, “one Bihari is worth a hundred,”' another person remarked.
