A photo of the health minister of northern Indian state of Rajasthan, Kalicharan Saraf, urinating on a wall in the state capital Jaipur is being widely shared on social media, causing embarrassment to the state’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is trying to bring the city up in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan - a campaign in India that aims to clean up the streets, roads and infrastructure of its cities, smaller towns, and rural areas - rankings, NDTV reported.
The minister, however, dismissed the incident as “not a big issue.”
The Congress was quick to hit back. Party’s Rajasthan unit Vice President Archana Sharma called it a “shameful deed,” when the government was spending money on the Swachh Bharat mission.
“The government talks about Swachh Bharat Mission but the health minister is caught urinating in public,” another Congress leader Raghu Sharma said, according to ANI. “The government should be ashamed and must publicly apologise.”
The BJP had to face major embarrassment after it lost all three bypolls - two Lok Sabha and one Assembly, held late last month. Since then, the ruling party has been garnering media attention for all the wrong reasons.the real contribution in #SwachhBharat ABHIYAN of rajasthan health minister @KalicharanSaraf @AshokLahotyBJP have a look @VasundharaBJP pic.twitter.com/Hqid1tWori
