BJP leader Madhu Chauhan said in Gairsain, Uttarakhand, that party workers burned an effigy of the Congress over an audio clip allegedly involving 2 brothers of Chakrata MLA Pritam Singh.
Chauhan made the remarks in a statement carried by ANI on 28 October 2026. He said the clip had created strong resentment against the Congress, but the material did not include the audio itself or an independent verification of the allegations.
Allegations over the audio clip
According to Chauhan, the language used in the recording was highly offensive. He also claimed that the person speaking in the clip was a former District Panchayat President and had served as a Block Pramukh on multiple occasions.
Chauhan further alleged that the individual had used intimidation and aggressive tactics over a long period to help secure electoral victories. These claims were made by Chauhan and were not established independently in the available material.
The BJP leader said one family had now spoken out against the alleged conduct. He described the family as long-standing Congress voters who had nevertheless faced such treatment, according to his statement.
Political impact in Chakrata
Chauhan presented the incident as a challenge to the Congress’s established influence in Chakrata. He predicted that more families would come forward and said this could weaken what he described as the party’s stronghold in the constituency.
The available report does not identify the family that Chauhan referred to. It also does not provide the names of the 2 brothers, details about when the audio was recorded, or any response from Pritam Singh, his brothers or the Congress.
The development therefore remains a political allegation linked to a reported audio clip. Any conclusions about the recording or the conduct described would require verification from the people involved and relevant authorities.
Conclusion
Madhu Chauhan has linked an effigy-burning protest in Gairsain to an allegedly offensive audio clip involving 2 brothers of Chakrata MLA Pritam Singh, while predicting wider opposition to the Congress in the constituency. The available material contains his allegations but no independent verification or response from the accused side.
