Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), Feb 17: A public meeting held here Wednesday to welcome the Congress party’s state unit president Rita Bahuguna Joshi, organised by a former legislator of the party, saw a group of women dancers gyrating suggestively on stage. However, party officials denied Joshi was present during the dance.
Girls danced to suggestive songs at the programme organised by Chaudhary Gajay Singh in Bhanera village near here, some 500 km from Lucknow.
’Yes, I have also come to know that some dances were performed on the stage...but believe me, at that time, our party’s state president or any senior leaders were not present,’ the party’s city unit president Shashi Walia told reporters here.
’I can’t say if the dances were performed before the arrival of Rita Bahuguna or after she left the public gathering. We need to gather more information about the case you all are talking about,’ he said.
