It is the duty of the leaders in charge to take care of the citizens, their needs and demands. But should it be seen as a bribery method, or is it?
In Rajasthan, a video of BJP leader distributing money to a woman in the presence of party MLA Bhanwarilal Singhal and municipal council chairman Ashok Khanna went viral on Tuesday. A BJP worker Devendra Kumar is seen handing over money to the woman in the video.

The party leaders later clarified that during the party campaign at the sabzi mandi a woman approached the leaders complaining that she was not given pension. Since the model code of conduct is in force, the woman’s complaint could not be redressed.
BJP MLA Bhanwarilal Singhal, who was seen in the video, accepted that a woman had indeed come with complaint related to pension. But her grievance could not be addressed due to model code of conduct. He, however, claimed that he was not aware of giving her any money.
Congress said it will approach the election commission (EC) with complaint of BJP trying to influence the voters by distributing money.
