Gave cash as gift to women: BJP MLA who was seen distributing cash
After a video showed BJP MLA Ganesh Joshi distributing cash to women during Chhath puja celebrations in civic poll-bound Uttarakhand, he justified the act saying, "Brothers do give money or gifts to their sisters when they apply tika on their foreheads." Calling it an "age-old practice", he stated he gave money only to women who applied "tika" on his forehead.
