Why Ex-BJP Leader Accuses Mahoba President
The woman made these allegations during a Facebook Live session. She claimed that district president Mohanlal Kushwaha demanded sexual relations in return for appointing her as district vice-president. The video has gone viral on social media, causing unrest within the party.
According to her, the controversy began after a new district team was formed. She alleged that when she asked Kushwaha for a senior post, he made inappropriate remarks suggesting she should “give something in return” for the position. She said that he asked her to spend a night with him and travel with him to Lucknow and Delhi without raising suspicion.

The woman also accused district vice-president Pankaj Tiwari of advising her to consider Kushwaha’s proposal, suggesting it could help her get an even higher position. Another party member, Jaipal, was accused of calling her late at night to pressure her into agreeing. She further alleged that threats were made to implicate her husband in a false rape case if she refused.
In response to the allegations, Kushwaha dismissed them as baseless and part of a conspiracy to damage his political image. He said that the truth would come out through a fair investigation. Tiwari also denied the accusations, calling them made-up.
