PANAJI
Deputy Chief Minister Manohar (Babu) Ajgaonkar on Sunday claimed that a video which went viral depicting him at a crowded private celebration is a function related to a wedding in the family and restricted to only his relatives.
"I wish to clarify that it is a pre-wedding function and confined to my family members. Even the main marriage ceremony, we have restricted the invitees to 70 and all Covid-19 appropriate behaviour is being followed," Ajgaonkar said in a pre-recorded audio statement he released after the video went viral on social media platforms.
The video, which depicts guests dancing to Bollywood tunes, earned Ajgaonkar widespread criticism at a time when Goa is struggling to cope with a ferocious second wave of the pandemic.
