A controversial photograph of Benjamin Basumatary, a suspended leader of the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), an ally of the BJP in Assam, has sparked debate ahead of the Lok Sabha polls after circulating widely on social media. Basumatary, clad only in a traditional "gamosa," is depicted lying on a bed surrounded by Rs 500 notes.
