New Delhi: The Gujarat Assembly election has heated up with the surfacing of a video allegedly catching Patidar leader Hardik Patel in a sexual act with a woman. Micro-blogging site Twitter erupted today as the Twitterati got busy debating on Monday afternoon the ‘sex video’.
Journalist Seema Goswami made a point and was challenged soon.
If he plans to be a politician / a leader,then even this consensual sex business is unacceptable behavior. A leader must have character, other things can follow !

Pro-Congress Twitter warriors got into the act of defending Hardik Patel without wasting their time.
The guy in the CD does not even look like @HardikPatel_ . Just a violation of someone s privacy. How desperate is this @narendramodi / @vijayrupanibjp government .

However, defending Hardik, they seemed confused, contradicting their own statements. In another tweet, Poonawala stated,
Absolute fake CD being circulated by a vv desperate @narendramodi gang against @HardikPatel_ . Violation of right to privacy now a fundamental right !!!

Like Patel, Poonawal predicted that sex videos of some more Patidar leaders may come out soon.
A stupid CD on @HardikPatel_ just to tarnish him will be put out. An Audio tape on @jigneshmevani80 also in pipeline. Shows how desperate @narendramodi ji is.

In the video, Patel can be seen in what looks like a hotel room with a woman. The video sparked off a furore in the political corridors after it was telecast on some news channels based in Gujarat. Patel has blamed the BJP for leaking the tape. Taking to Twitter, he lambasted the saffron party for its “dirty politics”.
“Dirty politics has begun now. Defame me all you want, it makes no difference to me. But this is an insult to the women of Gujarat,” he tweeted.
अब गंदी राजनीति की शुरुआत हो गई हैं।मुझे बदनाम कर लो कोई फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ेगा,लेकिन गुजरात की महिलाओ का अपमान किया जा रहा हैं।

जिसको जो करना हैं कर ले,पीछे हटने वाला नहीं हूँ।जम के लड़ने वाला हूँ।२३साल का हार्दिक अब बड़ा हो रहा हैं।मुझे बदनाम करने में करोड़ों का ख़र्च किया जाता हैं।

The Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader declared that had it been him in the video, he would have accepted it wholeheartedly.
Interestingly, Hardik had predicted that an explicit CD of him might surface ahead of the polls. According to media reports, the video was shot on 16 May this year.
Ashwin Sankarsariya, who uploaded the video on Youtube, said,” I got to know about the video while in Bangkok.” He added that apart from Hardik, he also has CDs featuring the PAAS leader’s colleagues.
