Minister Ram Shinde video goes viral

Solapur, November 20: Maharashtra Water Conservation Minister Ram Shinde has landed himself in a controversy after a video clip has surfaced in which he is reportedly seen urinating by the roadside today.

The incident has happened at a stretch on the Solapur-Barshi road when the minister was traveling in his car.

A man captured his video in his camera and made it viral in social media.

"I have been travelling continuously from the last one month taking review of the Jalyukta Shivar scheme. Continuous travelling in high temperatures and dust made me ill. I was suffering from fever today and when I couldn't find a toilet while travelling, I had to relieve myself in the open," Shinde said.

In this regard,the opposition NCP said the minister not finding a toilet on a highway shows that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swacch Bharat Abhiyan has failed.
