Notably, two days ago, a purported video of Congress MLA Babu Jandel surfaced on social media, where he was heard using abusive language for Lord Shiva. He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol in the video.
Senior BJP leader Narendra Saluja posted the clip on X, slamming Jandel for the offensive comments against the Hindu deity.
Hindu Mahasabha, too, took to the streets in Gwalior and raised slogans of 'Jandel Murdabad'. They burnt the effigy of Jandel and demanded strict action against him.
Though Jandel has termed the video 'doctored', saying it was his rival's conspiracy.
