Congress”s social media chairperson Supriya Shrinate said that as Devendra Singh Tomar”s video demanding bribe is going viral, Election Commission (EC) should take notice of this matter. “EC should take cognizance of this matter, watch the video and take immediate action.

Ms Shrinate added that Mr Tomar has served as the minister of mining and is the neighbour of Home Minister Amit Shah on Krishna Menon road. She asked why the probing bodies, ED, CBI and Income Tax Department are silent on the matter.
Adding further, the Congress leader asks that since Mr Tomar is a big leader, how can the bribe issue be investigated until he resign from the post. “Hence, Narendra Singh Tomar should resign from his post and his son Devendra Tomar should be arrested.”
Meanwhile, after the video went viral on social media, Mr Tomar lodged a complaint at civil line police station in Morena district against an unknown person. Citing it as a conspiracy, Mr Tomar claims that the video is edited and it meant to defame him.
