RAIPUR: In a bizarre incident, which willy-nilly reflects on the quality of the so-called bottled water sold in Chhattisgarh, a wriggly snake like creature was discovered in a bottle of water served to none other than Union health minister, JP Nadda , and chief minister, Dr Raman Singh , at a meeting at BJP headquarters here on Wednesday.

According to officials, 20 boxes of water bottles, marketed under the name of "Aman Aqua", was ordered for the meeting, which was held at Ekatma Parisar. The wriggly snake like creature was noticed in one of the bottles by a lady doctor in the Chief Minister's medical team and she immediately alerted the staff.

Incidentally, this company is owned by Sayed Shafiq Aman, whose father, Sayed Ali Aman, is BJP's Raipur District Minority Cell Vice President. When contacted, Syed Shafiq claimed that these allegations were false. "It's a conspiracy against me. When I was shown the bottle, its seal was broken", he said adding that his company takes utmost care in packaging water.

Raipur District president, BJP, Ashok Pandey, confirmed the incident but claimed that he did not know the details of what transpired later. "I came to know about it only after the meeting", he said.
