Alongside him, she has also accused his wife, their driver, and a local councilor of being complicit in this alleged crime.

In response to the allegations, Ramniwas Surjakhheda took to social media to label the accusations as baseless and politically motivated. He suggested that there is a concerted effort to undermine his reputation ahead of the upcoming elections. Surjakhheda stated, “I never thought politics would stoop to such a low level. It is unfortunate that attempts are being made to weaken me through conspiracies just before the elections.” He has expressed his willingness to cooperate fully with any investigation, emphasizing his readiness to face any challenges that may arise.
His Commitment to Transparency
Surjakhheda has publicly called for an impartial investigation into the allegations, asserting that he is prepared for any scrutiny that comes his way. He said, “I urge the law to ensure a fair investigation of the entire matter. I am ready to assist in every possible way.” This statement underlines his intent to clear his name amidst the swirling controversy.
Political Implications

Background on Ramniwas Surjakhheda
