In the viral video, Dabi is seen greeting BJP leader Satish Poonia.
Satish Poonia is a prominent figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Rajasthan, having previously held the position of state president. Currently, he oversees the party's operations in Haryana.
Dabi is seen respectfully bowing her head multiple times in the video¡ªreportedly "five times in seven seconds."
This gesture of respect is followed by Poonia commending her work and efforts in the Barmer district. "Barmer will become just like Indore. You are doing good work," he says.
While many have applauded Dabi for her humility and professionalism, the scene has ignited discussions about the relationship between civil servants and politicians.
As the video continues to circulate, people are expressing varied opinions on whether civil servants should show such overt respect to political leaders.

Some believe that the blame should not rest on Dabi but rather on our leaders who view themselves as 'viceroys.'
It is not Tina Dabi's fault, it is the fault of our leaders who consider themselves viceroys. All IAS officers have to attend to the leaders. pic.twitter.com/ppj4CcbLeW

However, other are voicing their concerns about how the media is portraying the incident, suggesting that the coverage sensationalises what is simply respect shown by an individual to her senior.
One said, "The news and video were misrepresented and exaggerated. It's a common human reaction to express gratitude when complimented. Tina Dabi's actions simply reflect polite and humble behavior."
