Kirit Somaiya's video has become the talk of the town ever since a Marathi news channel aired a private clip alleging that the man in question was the veteran BJP leader. Kirit Somaiya's video has been trending on Twitter from Tuesday and people are puzzled if the man in the viral clip was indeed the BJP leader. For the unversed, Kirit Somaiya who has served as the Vice-President of BJP Maharashtra's unit came under the scanner of social media after a Marathi channel named 'Lokshahi' telecasted a video alleging that the person in the video is BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. In the purported video, the BJP leader was seen in a compromising position with a woman. Although the video was blurred first and then ran in the news package by the Marathi channel, Kirit Somaiya had already broken the internet. Notably, Kirit Somaiya stated that he was not in the video and wrote a letter to Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis to start a probe to check the authenticity of the viral clip. Now, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has reacted to Kirit Somaiya's leaked video.
Sanjay Raut on Tuesday was interacting with the media and briefing them on the opposition meeting in Bengaluru. Raut was talking about I-N-D-I-A, the name embraced by the 'united' opposition parties when he was asked about the video of Kirit Somaiya. Reacting to this Sanjay Raut said, "I don't know much about it. I haven't seen it yet. I will watch it later (tomorrow). As you sow, so shall you reap (Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni)."
