BJP worker washes MP Nishikant Dubey’s feet, drinks that water: Watch video

A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker washed the feet of BJP Member of Parliament Nishikant Dubey at an event in Jharkhand’s Godda and drank that water. While, MP Nishikant Dubey posted the video on his official Facebook account in which, a BJP worker is seen washing his feet and later drank the water that he washed MP’s feet.  

The incident took place, when MP Dubey went to the foundation of Kanbhara bridge in Godda where the party worker washed his feet and drank that used water publically.

While posting the video Nishikant Dubey wrote: “Today I consider myself to be a very small functionary of the party as a veteran worker Pawan Singh washed my feet in the presence of thousands of people. I wish to get this chance someday where I am able to wash the feet of a party worker and drink that water too.”

When finding himself in the midst of criticism for his actions, he lashed out critics saying, “It is not a big deal if someone wanted to wash his feet out of his own will. Why is this being given political colour? What is wrong with washing the feet of your guests? Read the tales in Mahabharata.”

While receiving a severe backlash on Facebook he chose to play a caste card to defend himself he said, how can he change the fact that he is a Brahmin? “Are my parents to be abused if I was born in a Brahmin family? Should I change my parents because of this reason,” he said while claiming that there was nothing wrong if someone drank the dirty water which he termed as ‘Charnamrit’.

The state BJP spokesperson Pratap Nath Shahdev has condemned the incident and said that the party does not support this kind of act.
