The meet was held on Wednesday after ashes of the late BJP stalwart were brought for immersion in major rivers.

The video purportedly also showed a laughing Ajay Chandrakar slapping the table in front of him.

State BJP chief Dharamlal Kaushik is seen grabbing Ajay Chandrakar’s hand, to indicate that they should not laugh.

Chief Minister Raman Singh was also present at the meet.
