Kanpur: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Bidhuna assembly seat of Auraiya district, Vinay Shakya on Wednesday dismissed the allegations that he had been kidnapped. He said he was safe and sound with his family at his ancestral home in Etawah.
On Tuesday, the MLA’s daughter had released a video message claiming that her father had been kidnapped. Her statement, however, was dismissed by the police as “unsubstantiated”.
He said that he was with his family at his ancestral residence in Shanti Colony of Etawah with his mother Draupadi Devi and brother Devesh Shakya.
Vinay further told reporters that he has not resigned yet from the BJP. “I will hold discussions with my people but my allegiance lies with Swami Prasad Maurya as I have a personal relationship with him (Swami Prasad Maurya) for 26 years. So, wherever he stays, I will go with him.”
