Surat (Gujarat): In an embarrassment for the ruling BJP in 'dry' Gujarat, one of its corporator from Surat was captured on camera while purportedly dancing in an inebriated condition.
With the video of the corporator, Piyush Shivshaktiwala, going viral on social media, the party has issued a show-cause notice to him, Surat BJP president Nitin Bhajiyawala said on Monday.
Shivshaktiwala represents Sagrampura municipal ward in the Surat Municipal Corporation.
The undated video was shot on a mobile phone at a farm house in coastal Nagrol village in neighbouring Valsad district.
"A show cause notice has been issued to Shivshaktiwala. The city unit will also demand his suspension from the party," said Bhajiyawala.
Manufacture, storage, sale and consumption of liquor is prohibited in Gujarat. The corporator was allegedly enjoying a party with a group of people at the farm house.
