Narayan Dutt Tiwari Scandal (In Bed with 3 Women)

Posted: 28 Dec 2009 07:23 AM PST

An 86-year-old Congress Party official was forced to resign yesterday after a television news channel broadcast footage allegedly showing him in bed with three young women. Narayan Dutt Tiwari, the governor of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, insisted that the video was fabricated, as did his party, but Congress leaders demanded that he resign on "health grounds".

The incident is a rare example of a senior politician embroiled in a sex scandal in a country where the media rarely exposes the private lives of public figures — even when their indiscretions are widely known. The three-and-a-half-minute video is said to show the frail politician — whose wife died in 1993 — with the women at his official residence. The figure in the video is shown lying on a bed while the naked and scantily clad women kiss him and perform sex acts.

The Scoop: Governor of Andhra Pradesh Narayan Dutt Tiwari (ND Tiwari) Scandal was rumored today in India. ABN Andhra Jyothi "Telugu News Channel" expose, Andhra Pradesh Governor and Congress veteran N D Tiwari, 85-year-old was found, on Dec 25, 2009, in the middle of an alleged sleazy sex racket whose headquarters are the Raj Bhavan itself.

Analysts said that the scandal highlighted the declining standards of conduct among Indian politicians, who are widely regarded as being corrupt and out of touch with the electorate.

A recent poll found that 83 per cent of Indians believed their politicians were corrupt. Indian MPs who ran for re-election in this year's general election had become on average 287 per cent richer since the last poll in 2004, according to the first detailed study of their assets. One politician was 9,000 per cent wealthier, according to the study by National Election Watch, a non-governmental organisation.

The report also found that of the 543 members of Parliament 153 have faced or are facing criminal charges, an increase of 19.5 per cent over the 2004 Parliament. Of those, 74 are facing or have faced serious charges such as rape or murder.
