BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya performed "purification ceremony" at the municipal corporation in Jaipur to 'convert' rebel Congress councillors, who joined BJP, into 'Sanatanis'. He sprinkled 'gaumutra' and 'gangajal' on the councillors, claiming this cleansed them of impurities and corruption. The councillors had rebelled against Congress to support Kusum Yadav, who has been appointed as Mayor by BJP.
