Political Turmoil Erupts Over Manohar Dhakad's Viral Video Incident
Political Fallout from Viral Video
A viral video featuring Manohar Dhakad on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has ignited significant political controversy, particularly within Madhya Pradesh's political landscape. The unfolding drama surrounding the video and its implications has led to various interpretations and speculations. Questions about who orchestrated the scandal and whether Dhakad was targeted have gained traction, especially after comments from the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.
Former CM's Cryptic Remarks
According to a report, former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh hinted at multiple factors that could have stirred unrest within the BJP's state faction during a program commemorating Maharana Pratap Jayanti in Mandsaur. Following the event, media inquiries directed at Singh regarding the video scandal involving Dhakad prompted a notable response.
Digvijay Singh's Response
When questioned about the video, Singh suggested that reporters should direct their inquiries to Yashpal Sisodia, the BJP's state chief. This response has fueled speculation regarding Sisodia's involvement, raising questions about why Singh chose to point to him.
Connections Between Dhakad and Sisodia
Reports indicate that both Manohar Dhakad and Yashpal Sisodia are affiliated with the same organizational Mandal, although no joint photographs have emerged. Nevertheless, there is considerable conjecture that Sisodia played a pivotal role in the election of Dhakad’s wife.
Yashpal Sisodia's Reaction
In response to media inquiries, Sisodia stated that he could not confirm the authenticity of the video. He emphasized that the party would take the matter seriously, despite the BJP's assertion that Dhakad is not a core member of the party. Nonetheless, the incident has tarnished the party's reputation on social media.
Further Interpretations of Singh's Comments
Another perspective on Singh's suggestion to question Sisodia is that, as the BJP's state chief, he may have intended for inquiries about Dhakad to be directed towards the party leadership, given Dhakad's reported affiliation with the BJP. Singh's remarks are likely to draw further scrutiny in the days ahead.
Details of the Viral Videos
On May 13, a video surfaced showing Manohar Dhakad in a compromising situation with a woman on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. He was arrested on May 25 but was subsequently released. Following the initial video, another clip emerged two days later, depicting Dhakad dancing after the incident. The public backlash led to his removal from the position of National Minister of the Youth Association of Dhakad Samaj, while the BJP maintains that the individual in the video is not a primary party member.
