Shame! BJP MLA piggybacks on officer to cross river

September 10, 2015 14:53

In a major embarrassment to the BJP, Krishan Lal, its MLA from Jammu's Chhamb constituency, was photographed crossing a river on his Personal Security Officer's back. The photograph, tweeted by ABP News, shows Lal's PSO carrying him on his back to help the MLA cross the river.

Lal justified his act saying the PSO was hired to help him. "He is my PSO, he was hired to help me right? Who else will help me," news agency ANI quoted Lal as saying.

Recently Maharashtra rural development minister Pankaja Munde was embroiled in a controversy after a member of her staff was seen carrying her slippers. Munde defended herself saying that the man was in her personal employment and not a government servant.
