Ahead of Madhya Pradesh polls, video of Union minister’s son discussing cash deals surfaces

A video allegedly showing Devendra Singh Tomar, the son of Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader in Madhya Pradesh Narendra Singh Tomar, negotiating a deal to the tune of Rs 500 crore has surfaced on social media.

This comes days ahead of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections scheduled for November 17. Narendra Singh Tomar will contest the polls from the Dimani constituency.

In the video, a person can be heard telling Devendra Singh Tomar that the chartered accountant of an unidentified person in Chandigarh would tell them every month whether they would get Rs 50 crore, Rs 100 crore or Rs 500 crore. The minister’s son can be heard saying “no problem” in response.

Scroll could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

The BJP has dismissed the video as “fake” and said that a complaint has been filed against it, reported NDTV. “The video is being investigated,” said BJP state unit president VD Sharma.

The Congress, however, has said that Madhya Pradesh has become the country’s “corruption capital” under BJP.
