Rajasthan Congress today attacked two BJP leaders for shaking their legs with dance girls and showering currency notes on them in Alwar during Lohri festival celebrations and termed their act as "shameful" which has tarnished the image of the state.
"BJP MLA Gyandeo Ahuja and party's District President of Indrajeet Singh were openly seen dancing with women dancers and 'nyochavar' (offering) Rs 500 notes on them at Lohri festival organised by Yuva Punjabi Samiti in Alwar yesterday," RPCC Vice President Dr Archna Sharma alleged.
"It is a shameful act of BJP leaders which has tarnished the image of the state," Sharma, who is also Chairperson of Media wing, said in a statement here.
She further said pictures appeared today in the dailies in Rajasthan have shown the character of BJP leaders specially that of the MLA, who is said to be very cultural and decent.
Sharma also accused the BJP government being "least worried" on the swine flu deaths, which so far has claimed 51 lives since January.
Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (RPCC) also demanded Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to take cognisance of the matter and ensure action against the two leaders.
"If CM does not take action, it would prove that CM had silent acceptance to defame not only people of the state but also encouraging this kind of cultural values which were deplorable," she lamented.
When contacted, the BJP spokesmen were reluctant to comment on issue and termed the incident as "personal affair" of the BJP leaders.
