Udupi : The state BJP government which is yet to recover from the blue film scandal that rocked the assembly some time back, is now caught in another similar scandal.
If sources are to be believed, CDs having video clippings of the sex acts of Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat with a young woman, were selling like hot cakes in the town of Udupi since the past few days.
The CDs have also reached some media houses in Bangalore on Thursday. A few TV channels have already said they will not be airing clips of the video as they were highly obscene and moreover it seems to be an act of mutual consent.
But Udupi MLA Raghupathi has denied the charges against him and has said this was just a ploy to tarnish his image during election. He also said he was not the person who was seen in the video.
It is now left to be seen how the BJP would react to this latest development that is sure to land the party in a much more embarrassing state. The party has already suffered a major setback in Udupi after its loss in CMC elections after nearly three decades of rule.
It may be mentioned here that the name of Raghupathi Bhat was also heard behind the suspicious case of suicide of his wife Padmapriya in a flat in Delhi a few years ago.
