This must be one of the most embarrassing pictures in recent times. Not only is the Model Code of Conduct in place in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, but parties are vowing to not go down the path of corruption.
A member of BTR’s Pramod Boro-led UPPL party, which is in alliance with BJP in Assam, was caught on camera sleeping on stacks of Rs 500 currency notes.
The picture of the UPPL member, identified as Benjamin Basumatary, the VCDC chairman in Bhairaguri, Udalguri district, has set the social media abuzz. There have been reaction from various quarters.
It must be mentioned here that the UPPL party has pledged publicly that the government is committed to refraining from corruption.
