Concerning a viral video of Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's son, Devendra, who was allegedly seen making a "deal" with a man on a video call, the senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said it is part of a "well-planned conspiracy" carried out by the opposition during election season to mislead the public. Taking to X, Union Minister stated: "Today a fake video related to my son has gone viral on social media. This is part of a well-planned conspiracy being carried out by the opposition at the time of elections with the aim of misleading the public."

आज सोशल मीडिया पर एक कूट रचित वीडियो मेरे बेटे से संबंधित वायरल किया गया है। यह एक सुनियोजित षड्यंत्र का हिस्सा है जो चुनाव के समय विपक्ष के द्वारा जनता को भ्रमित करने के उद्देश्य से चलाया जा रहा है।

Earlier in the day, Congress National Spokesperson Ragini Nayak attacked the BJP, claiming that black money and BJP leaders are synonymous, ANI reported.

"The video of Union Minister Tomar's son is going viral again and again so now I have to say that along with 50 per cent commission, black money has become synonymous with BJP leaders. We have seen the previous video in which deals worth crores were heard and now a new video of Tomar's son surfaced in which deals worth five times more than that of previous one is heard in hawala dealing and black money," Nayak was quoted by ANI in its report. 

He also remembered Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign promise that he will not engage in corruption or allow others to do so, and questioned why PM Modi remained mute on the matter.

"It is the slogan of the BJP and is applicable in all the BJP-ruled states so why CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan is silent on the issue?" questioned Nayak.

"There is a saying that 'silence means yes' so can it be considered that the crores of hawala dealing being heard in the video is true? Can it be considered that such dealing has the protection of PM Modi ji and CM Chouhan? PM Modi is silent, it means he is protecting Tomar's son," the Congress leader alleged.

Narendra Singh Tomar is running for the Dimani assembly seat in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district, where elections will take place on Friday. 

The state will go to the polls on November 17, and the results will be counted on December 3. Voters will select representatives from among the 230 Assembly constituencies.
