BJP councillors in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, have denied allegations of corruption stemming from a viral video that shows them taking an oath to distribute proceeds evenly among themselves. The video, which has been circulating on social media, allegedly shows around 60 councillors taking the oath, with some claiming it is an old recording edited and shared to damage their reputation.
The BJP city unit has issued notices to approximately 10 councillors, requesting their responses within three days. The councillors maintain that the video is a year old, filmed during a regular meeting to discuss development projects and fund distribution, and that portions of it have been edited to harm their image. The party is currently examining the video to determine if it has been manipulated, and if so, legal action will be taken against those responsible.
