BJP has done the unthinkable. It has become the first party apart from Indian National Congress in the history of independent India to get a clear majority and form government for two consecutive terms. BJP has not only created history, it has also outdone itself. While in Lok Sabha 2014 elections BJP won 272 seats, in Lok Sabha Elections 2019, it has won 303 seats. Among those who contested the 2019 elections, there were also some actor-turned-politicians. Here’s how these actor-turned-politicians fared in the Lok Sabha Elections 2019.

Congress leader Prakash Rathod, on Friday, was caught on camera while allegedly scrolling through few adult content clips in the State Assembly. This turned out to be a huge embarrassment for both, Congress and Rathod as regional channels aired the video, in which he was ?caught in the act.
The MLC member was present in the house during the proceedings of the legislative council. While the house was in session, Rathod was watching adult content on his smartphone.
However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly. Following the scandal, they resigned from the state government due to public embarrassment.
