NEW DELHI: A prominent political figure from an eastern state is under scrutiny for prolonged absence and lack of interest in constitutionally mandated duties, allegedly due to personal commitments, much of which apparently take place in central Delhi. Recently, the individual was observed attending a marriage event accompanied by a partner who claims to be a sort of mini-celebrity. Sources disclose that the leader is facing pressure from a wealthy supporter, who reportedly donated Rs 25 crore for him and an additional Rs 5 crore for party expenses during a recent electoral campaign. The supporter is reportedly unhappy as promised avenues to recoup these expenditures have not materialised.
Privately, the leader, who shifted to politics after trying hands at other options, is reputed for a lifestyle that sharply contrasts with the public persona, raising concerns about potential media scrutiny. Additionally, allegations from close associates indicate tendencies towards arrogance and verbal abuse, resulting in estrangement from long-time family friends.
