On cam: BJP worker washes party MP's feet in Jharkhand, then drinks that water

NEW DELHI: BJP lawmaker Nishikant Dubey stirred a major controversy on Monday after a video went viral on social media showing a party worker washing the parlimentarian's feet and then drinking the used water.The Godda MP faced a lot of criticism over the incident that took place on Sunday when he was visiting his constituency.Dubey was visiting Kanhavara village of his constituency to announce the construction of a bridge where the onlookers recorded the incident.The MP even posted about the same on his official Facebook page. He, however, said that it is no big deal if someone wanted to wash his feet out of his own will. The post on Facebook was later deleted.Questioning the ethics of the BJP, the Congress attacked the party over the video that surfaced on social media.Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala demanded action against Dubey and said, "The arrogance of the ilk of BJP leaders like Nishikant Dubey who are habitual offenders of insulting others, of breaking the tradition and of self-prophesying a God-like status for themselves, is now out in open."Is this the culture and ethics of the BJP that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah speak about? Will they take action against Dubey. If they will not take action then it will be proved that it is with active support and connivance of Prime Minister and BJP president that such elements like Nishikant Dubey continue to profess inhumane and insulting practices in today's world," the Congress leader said.Earlier in July, Dubey grabbed headlines after he said that his party members fear that hugging Congress president Rahul Gandhi might lead to divorce.(With agency inputs)
