GUWAHATI: The ruling BJP in Assam was left red-faced on Saturday after a video, showing a party MLA in a sexual act, went viral on social media.
The party has not reacted so far but the Morigaon MLA, Ramakanta Deuri, claimed he was not the man shown in the clip.
“It is purely a conspiracy hatched against me by my political adversaries to malign my image as I am a contender for a berth in the ministry, which will be expanded soon,” Deuri told local TV channels.
He demanded a forensic test of the video. “Let there be a forensic test of the video. If it establishes that I am the man featuring in it, I will quit politics,” he asserted.
