The viral video of Manohar Dhakad on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has sparked a major political uproar, especially in Madhya Pradesh’s state politics. The video and the motive behind the scandal are taking on new twists and interpretations each day. Who is behind the Scandal? Did anybody target Dhakad? These questions gained momentum after the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister hinted at various angles.
A report by MP Tak mentions a ‘gesture’ by former CM Digvijay Singh, hinting at several clues that may have caused unrest in the BJP’s state wing. The report was based on a program organised on Maharana Pratap Jayanti in Mandsaur. Congress leader Digvijay Singh shared the stage with former MLA Yashpal Sisodia. After the program, the media went to Digvijay Singh and asked about the Delhi-Mumbai expressway video scandal involving Manohar Lal Dhakad.
How Did The Former CM Respond?
When former CM and Congress leader Digvijay Singh was asked about the video, he responded by saying, “You should ask this question to Yashpal Sisodia.” This reaction has triggered many speculative narratives about Yashpal, who is also the chief of the BJP’s state wing. The question arises: When Digvijay Singh was asked, why did he point towards Yashpal Sisodia?
Dhakad And Yashpal Come From The Same Mandal
MP Tak reports, citing sources, suggest that Manohar Dhakad and Yashpal Sisodia belong to the same organisational Mandal, although no photo of them together has surfaced. Despite this, there is widespread speculation that Sisodia played a key role in the election of Manohar Dhakad’s wife.
What did Yashpal Sisodia say
After Digvijay Singh Media also asked Yashpal Sisodia for his reaction. Yashpal Sisodia says in this matter that I do not have any authenticity regarding the veracity of the video. He further said that the party will take it seriously. However, BJP has already clarified that the party has no direct connection with Manohar Dhakad. Despite this, the party’s image has been damaged on social media.
Another Assumption
Another interpretation of Digvijay Singh’s remark, where he suggested asking Yashpal Sisodia about the video, is that since Sisodia is the BJP’s state chief, he may have meant that questions related to Dhakad should be directed to the BJP leadership, as Dhakad was reportedly a party member. In the coming days, Digvijay Singh’s statement is expected to attract more attention.
Two Videos Went Viral
Manohar Dhakad was caught on video with a woman on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on May 13. He was arrested on May 25 but was later released. After a video showing him in an objectionable situation with a woman in a public place surfaced, another video of the BJP leader dancing following the incident emerged two days later.
After a video of him being found in an objectionable condition with his female friend in a public place surfaced, society also shunned him, and he was removed from the post of National Minister of the Youth Association of Dhakad Samaj. Meanwhile, the BJP says that the person seen in the video is not a primary member of the party.
