This morning people woke up to disturbing visuals coming in from Jharkhand. The visuals from the Godda district showed BJP's high profile lawmaker Nishikant Dubey at an inauguration of a bridge in his area. Just after he was felicitated, a party worker from backward castes, is seen first washing his feet and then take a drink from it as if it was sacred. However, the lawmaker did not distance himself from this action and actually shared it on social media. Tonight on Reality Check, we discuss is the BJP lawmaker perpetuating caste?
