NDTV
Gopal Mandal, facing criticism and reprimanded by his party, later defended himself, blaming his conduct on his passion for dancing.
An MLA from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party was filmed giving a flying kiss and throwing cash in the air while dancing with a young woman at a wedding in his constituency in a video widely shared on social media. An embarrassed Janata Dal United (JDU) has reportedly asked the legislator to "behave" and "maintain the dignity" of his post.
Gopal Mandal, who represents Bhagalpur in the Bihar Assembly, was also seen lifting his kurta and holding the hands of the woman - who was hired as an entertainer - in the video.
The MLA's antics were reportedly captured during a wedding reception in Fatehpur village in Bhagalpur district of Bihar.
According to reports, the JDU MLA was seated on the stage when he got up and started dancing with the woman. He was joined briefly by two men who sat with him.
