The opposition frequently accuses the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of acting as a washing machine for politics, suggesting that any corruption associated with those who join the party gets erased. This sentiment is echoed by various opposition parties and is exemplified by a recent event in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Here, eight Congress councillors defected to the BJP, and in a unique attempt to cleanse their alleged corruption, the party resorted to a ritual involving a mixture of Ganga water and cow urine.कांग्रेस की मेयर को हटाने के लिए अशोक गहलोत जी के सबसे करीबी मंत्री प्रताप सिंह खाचरियावास जी ने अपने समर्थक पार्षदों को भाजपा को दे दिया pic.twitter.com/c4EQY3ldug— SUBODH SHARMA ADVOCATE (@Subodh_inc) September 24, 2024A video that has surfaced on social media shows that BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya, representing the Hawa Mahal assembly constituency, led the ceremony by sprinkling the concoction on the councillors.

The recitation of Vedic mantras has now reached their ears, and they have become complete Sanatanis.”This event followed the removal of former JMCH Mayor Munesh Gurjar due to allegations of corruption, leading to the nomination of Kusum Yadav as his successor. Yadav garnered support from seven Congress councillors and one independent councillor, all of whom officially joined the BJP on September 25. Prior to her taking office, on September 26, Acharya conducted a purification ritual at the JMCH campus, involving both councillors and officials.
