Baban Singh Raghuvanshi, a bjp leader from Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, has found himself at the center of a controversy after a video surfaced online showing a young woman dancing provocatively while sitting on his lap. The video, which quickly went viral across social media platforms, has sparked outrage and disbelief, particularly because Raghuvanshi is known for projecting a "sanskari" (traditional and moralistic) image in his political and public life. The footage stands in stark contrast to the values he claims to uphold, and it has triggered widespread criticism from both the opposition and the public.
In response to the viral video, Raghuvanshi dismissed it outright, claiming that it was doctored and part of a conspiracy to tarnish his reputation. He labeled it as “fake” and demanded a forensic investigation to clear his name. However, many netizens were quick to point out the clarity and consistency of the visuals, which they argue leaves little room for doubt.
The video appears to have been taken in a private setting, and Raghuvanshi’s demeanor in the footage has led many to believe that the incident was genuine. His denial, rather than convincing the public, has only intensified the backlash.
Social media platforms have since erupted with memes, jokes, and sharp commentary, calling out the apparent hypocrisy of leaders who publicly preach morality but act otherwise in private. The incident has further fueled the narrative of political double standards, especially within parties that claim to uphold cultural and moral values. Critics argue that incidents like these undermine public trust and reflect the growing gap between political rhetoric and reality. For many netizens, the viral video isn't just an embarrassment for one leader—it’s symbolic of a deeper rot in political accountability and integrity.
