Udupi, 28 Mar 2013: MLA Raghupati Bhat who was extremely shocked and humiliated over sex CD that surfaced in the media on Thursday March 28, said that he would not contest in the upcoming assembly elections.
The news comes at the backdrop of a sex CD involving MLA Bhat in a sex-act with an unidentified young woman, widely circulated in the district and also reached media houses in the state capital.
MLA Bhat said that he saw the CD on Wednesday March 28 night, strongly feels that this was an attempt to tarnish his image and aimed at preventing him from contesting the upcoming elections. He has stated that he was not the person who was seen in the CD.
‘I am humiliated, shocked and surprised on seeing it,’ reached MLA Bhat who image has taken a severe beating following the episode. He is learnt to have conveyed his strong message to some TV channels that he was opting out of the poll arena and will not contest the elections.
MLA Bhat demanded a probe into the case and promised that he would not return to politics until the investigations are over and he comes out clean.
The timing of the circulation of the sex CD has also given a room for doubt, if it only aimed at denting the image of MLA Bhat. Even the opposition expressed by several within the party including RSS leaders against his candidature, is noteworthy here. Many party workers had strongly felt that Bhat’s candidature would only help the opposition to launch a tirade against him in the wake of his alleged involvement in the case of the suspicious death of his wife Padmapriya.
It may be worth mentioning here that a needle of suspicion had been pointed towards him in the case of Padmapriya death case which had hit the national headlines. Padmapriya who went missing from Udupi, in an unexpected turn of events was found hanging inside a flat in New Delhi.
The latest sex CD episode has dented the image of MLA Bhat beyond repair and has also been a major blow to the ruling party which has already been rocked by several sex scandals.
What do you people mean by why this kolaveri ? You mean this is not a news worth ? or this is not an issue ? I agree with Mr. Benedict Noronha, news is new, and it is news b cs Mr. Bhat is a MLA, I also agree that it is purly his private life. But still MLA is a rep of people, shd have some moral responsibilities. Let him maintain his pvt life in his home (no one want to record that), not in hotels with callgirls.
Dear Readers, for some peoples mistake do not attack on whole party. Not every leader in BJP is bad , there are good leaders also like Mr. Vajpayee, Mr. Modi . Similarly Not every leader in Congress is good , there are bad leaders also. So while commenting please take care of these facts, so that one party can not get easy benefit from it.
I think he must contest the election.
