r2d2 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 A photo of Benjamin Basumatary, an Assam politician, sleeping on a pile of ₹500 has gone viral triggering a massive controversy over corruption ahead of the Lok Sabha election 2024. Basumatary is a suspended member of the United People's Party Liberal. In the viral video, the politician could be seen sleeping bare-chested with notes of ₹500 strewn all over his body, face and forehead. As soon as the photo went viral, Pramod Boro, the president of the party said Benjamin is no longer a part of the party as he was suspended on January 10, this year. Disciplinary action was taken against him and he was removed from the post of the VCDC chairman, Pramod Boro said. "I urge all media outlets and social media users to refrain from linking Mr. Basumatry with UPPL. His actions are solely his own responsibility, and the party is not accountable for any of his personal acts," UPPL leader said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
