GUWAHATI
The United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), one of the two regional allies of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam, has washed its hands of a man seen sleeping on a bed of cash in a photograph that has gone viral on social media platforms.
The photograph of Benjamin Basumatary lying on and covered with ₹500 currency notes has generated political heat ahead of the April 19 Lok Sabha election.
