Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP) Nishikant Dubey faced flack on social media on Monday, after a video of a party worker washing his feet and drinking that water went viral.
The incident took place on Sunday when the BJP leader from Jharkhand’s Godda visited Kanhavara village of his constituency to announce the construction of a bridge.
Onlookers filmed the episode, which was also shared by Dubey on his Facebook page, however, he later deleted it. It a common custom to honour guests in Jharkhand, said Dubey, and cited Lord Krishna doing the same in Mahabharata.
