BJP Leader Babban Singh in Trouble Over Viral Video, Says It's a Fake to Ruin His Image

Reacting to the viral clip, Babban Singh strongly denied the allegations. He said the video is fake and was created to damage his clean image. According to him, this is part of a conspiracy hatched by people within his own party. “This video has been made only to spoil my image. I went to attend a wedding in Bihar, where BJP MLA Ketki Singh’s husband and a few others were also present. These are the same people trying to defame me,” he said.

This video is fake and a political conspiracy ahead of the district president elections. I will file a police complaint,” he said while speaking to media.
