Lucknow, May 8: As Covid-19 cases continue to surge across India, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA in Uttar Pradesh has called on people to drink 'gaumutra' (cow urine) to defeat Covid-19. Surendra Singh, MLA from Bairia in Ballia district, has also put up a video of himself drinking cow urine.
In the video, Surendra Singh demonstrated how exactly the cow urine should be taken. While urging people to consume cow urine, he himself gulped it down on camera. "Don't consume anything for half an hour," he cautions.
Singh, who represents the Bairia Assembly constituency in Ballia district, is infamous for making controversial statements on various subjects. He had openly defended Dhirendra Pratap Singh who allegedly shot a 46-year-old man dead in an open meeting in the presence of officials after a dispute over allocation of two fair price shops in Ballia's Durjanpur village in October last year.
