It shows Mr. Savadi, the Minister for co-operation, watching a clip on a phone, then showing it to Mr. Patil. The clip appeared to show a woman dancing, undressing and then having sex.
“Why should I resign?” Mr Savadi asked on Tuesday. “The video i watched was of a woman being raped by four people. It was not porn.” He said he was watching the video to “prepare for a discussion in the assembly on the ill-effects of a rave party” in the state recently.
The government has already been rocked by corruption scandals, leading to the resignation of former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa last year.
