BJP leader Vinod Agarwal fakes blood donation during drive on PM Modi’s birthday for camera
Lucknow: Vinod Agarwal, the Mayor of Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad and a senior BJP leader, staged a fake blood donation during a camp organised by the party's youth wing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday on September 17.
A viral video purportedly shows Agarwal lying on a bed at the blood donation camp as healthcare workers prepare to check his blood pressure. Just as the paramedic prepares to proceed, Agarwal suddenly gets up and leaves the room, prompting social media users to criticise him for staging the act merely for the cameras.
When asked about the video, Agarwal defended himself, saying it was a conspiracy by his rivals to defame him. He said that he went to the camp to donate blood, but the doctor informed him that, due to his diabetes, he could not proceed with the donation.

Staging a fake blood donation on the PM's birthday shows just how hollow both this politician and the PM's brand of leadership have become. Instead of addressing real issues, they focus on orchestrated gimmicks to fool the public. pic.twitter.com/nqUd6GHezO

Priyanka Gandhi takes oath as LS MP after big win from Wayanad
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took oath as a Lok Sabha MP on Thursday following her thumping victory from Kerala's Wayanad in a bypoll.
The 52-year-old, who joins her mother Sonia and brother Rahul as an MP in what is a rare instance of three members of a family together in Parliament, took affirmation in Hindi while holding a copy of the Constitution soon after the House met.
Ravindra Chavan (Cong), who won the Nanded bypoll also took oath in Marathi in the name of God. The bypoll was necessitated following the demise of his father Vasantrao Chavan recently.
Priyanka Gandhi took the plunge into active politics in 2019 and was later appointed Congress general secretary. Five years after that, Priyanka Gandhi begins her journey as an elected representative of the people.
With a winning margin of more than 4.1 lakh votes, she surpassed the tally of her brother Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad in Kerala.
Priyanka Gandhi's entry into Parliament comes at a difficult time for the party, which has been jolted by electoral defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra. It would be interesting to see if she is able to give a much-needed fillip to the grand old party and help put it back on the electoral track.
Often drawing comparisons with her grandmother Indira Gandhi for their similarity in looks and way of speaking, Priyanka Gandhi has been the go-to campaigner for the party since her entry into active politics and even before that when she campaigned for her mother Sonia and brother Rahul.
Congress leaders from Wayanad handed over the election certificate of the Wayanad parliamentary by-election to Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday and conveyed their best wishes.
Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday won the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll with a thumping margin of over four lakh votes, defeating Sathyan Mokeri of the CPI(M)-led LDF.
