Leaders from Opposition parties, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Kamal Nath, Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati attacked the BJP, even as the third-time sitting BJP MLA from Sidhi seat Kedarnath Shukla said that the man in the video, was not related to him or his party.

While the accused seen in the video was arrested the same night and slapped with the National Security Act (NSA), CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan hosted the tribal man at the CM's residence in Bhopal on July 6. Washing Dashmath's feet with water, the CM dubbed Dashmath as his Sudama and promised to stay in touch with him and family.
