"Perfume Bottles, Not Gold Biscuits": BJP Leader Clarifies On Viral Video
NDTV
The BJP leader explained that he was made to wait at the police station for hours and out of frustration referred to the plastic bottle as gold biscuit.
"Check karo, check karo", said someone as officials rifled through BJP's poll publicity material in Mumbai's Ghatkopar. First came the Modi masks, then caps and other publicity material out of the big cardboard box as another official made notes. Among them was a rectangular shaped item, which someone said was a "gold biscuit". That video with the "gold biscuit" reference is now in wide circulation.
It later turned out that it was a plastic perfume bottle, which was to be distributed along with other material among the party workers.
"My family was in the car. They had gone out to eat ice-cream. While coming back, the car was stopped by the squad. And they were taken to a police station. I was called over," said Ajay Badgujar, BJP's District Vice President from north central Mumbai.
