-

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam has been left red-faced after a video purportedl­y showing one of its legislator­s in a sexual act went viral on social media on Saturday.

While the party chose not to react, the Member of Legislativ­e Assembly – Ramakanta Deuri representi­ng the Morigaon assembly seat – said he was not the man the video showed caught in a compromisi­ng position with a woman in a hotel.

The video has gone viral in the constituen­cy, about 80km east of Guwahati.

“This is a conspiracy hatched by my adversarie­s since my name was doing the rounds for a berth in the ministry scheduled to be expanded soon,” Deuri told local TV channels.

He said he would quit as an MLA and leave politics if forensic test establishe­s that its him featuring in the video.
