The BJP's state boss, VD Sharma, has called the video "fake' and has accused the Congress of releasing the clips to unsettle voters ahead of polling on Friday.
The BJP is on the defensive in Madhya Pradesh after a video that seems to show Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's son negotiating a 'deal' worth Rs 500 crore surfaced Monday.
This is the second video this month; last week a video seemed to show Devendra Singh Tomar, whose father is among the big-names fielded by the BJP for the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly Election, discussing three separate deals - worth Rs 18 crore, Rs 21 crore, and Rs 100 crore.
Asked about the video, Mr Tomar told reporters in Gwalior, "We should not waste time on fake talks". His party also dismissed the videos, which have been heavily criticised by the Congress.
