**BJP Leader Babban Singh Raghuvanshi Removed Amid Controversy**
A senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Babban Singh Raghuvanshi, has been dismissed from his position following the emergence of a controversial video that allegedly depicts him inappropriately interacting with a dancer at a public event. The footage, reportedly taken during a wedding celebration, shows Raghuvanshi, a former candidate for the Bansdih assembly seat, engaging in explicit behavior while seated with a woman dancer on his lap.
The 70-year-old politician, who also served as the deputy chairman of the Kisan Cooperative Mill in Rasra, has vehemently denied any misconduct, asserting that the video is manipulated and part of a broader conspiracy within the party. “This is a deliberate conspiracy to tarnish my reputation. The video is fabricated, and members of MLA Ketakee Singh’s family are behind this,” he stated to the press, alleging that the incident occurred during the wedding procession of the village head in Durgipur, Bihar, which he claims was also attended by Singh’s family.
Raghuvanshi further contended that the video was secretly recorded to defame him, insisting, “I have never engaged in such behavior. I’m an elderly man now.”
In response to the incident, Amitabh Thakur, a former IPS officer and president of the Azad Adhikar Sena, has called for legal action. He addressed a letter to the Ballia superintendent of police, describing the visuals as “highly obscene” and “shameful,” and urged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to initiate an investigation into the video’s authenticity.
As the situation unfolds, the BJP faces scrutiny over the actions of its members and the implications of this incident on its public image.
