Vadodara: High drama prevailed at the ward office of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) in Manjalpur when BJP corporator from the area Kalpesh Patel aka Jay Ranchhod was reportedly caught with his pants down on Monday afternoon. Patel, later claimed it was a wardrobe malfunction and not as has been ascribed.
VMC has been spraying disinfectant in the city using its tankers and fire tenders. Patel had reached the ward office and raised a hue and cry that despite his recommendations, the drive was not conduced in many areas.
Patel has been claiming that veteran councillor from the opposition Congress party, Chirag Zaveri, was getting work done in his areas only while three BJP corporators from the same ward were being ignored.
Zaveri said in midst of the ruckus, when someone was recording Patel’s video, Patel allegedly removed his pyjamas and told the person to continue filming him.
Patel, however, later claimed that his pyjama string got entangled in the door of the car while he was getting out of it and so the garment opened and fell down on its own. “Someone took advantage of the situation and took photographs. I even had to wait in my car for a fresh pair,” he asserted later.
VMC commissioner Nalin Upadhyay, however, said that the issue had been addressed. “There was some misunderstanding which has now been resolved,” he said.
