KOTA: Separate videos and an audio tape of two BJP leaders on Sunday surfaced in the social media with purportedly showing them threatening voters in local bodies elections in Kota and rebuking a police officer for not lifting the curfew in Bundi district.
Video uploads purpor-tedly showed BJP MLA from Ladpura in Kota, Bhawani Singh Rajawat, wooing and threatening voters during the recent local bodies elections.
While an audio tape of Pramod Jain, municipality chairman of Nainwa sub-division of Bundi district, rebuking a police official for relaxing the curfew during communal tension in Nainwa in September this year also surfaced.
In the video, Rajawat is not only allegedly wooing voters but also threatening them of driving them out of their illegally built dwellings, if not voted to BJP. In ano-ther video, Rajawat is shown scolding and rebuking a deputy SP on duty. When contacted, Rajawat did not receive repeated calls. In an audio clip, Nainwa munici-pality chairman Promod Jain is heard allegedly rebuking a deputy SP for imposing a curfew.
The audio is reported to be of September 9 this year when Nainwa region was passing through communal tension and curfew was imposed.
“I have not seen and heard them so far,” he said. District SP Tejra Singh said he has not heard the clipping so far, adding that no action can be taken in the matter until a complaint from the victim is received.
Senior Congress leader and former state minister Harimohan Sharma has demanded an inquiry against both the leaders
The incident comes only two days after BJP MLA from Kota Prahlad Gunjal caused a huge embarrass-ment to the party after a phone conversation of him threatening a CMO got leaked. Gunjal was heard using abusive language and threatening a medical officer with dire consequences for not allowing his relative’s transfer.(PTI)
