The BJP leader explained that he was made to wait at the police station for hours and out of frustration referred to the plastic bottle as gold biscuit.
"Check karo, check karo", said someone as officials rifled through BJP's poll publicity material in Mumbai's Ghatkopar. First came the Modi masks, then caps and other publicity material out of the big cardboard box as another official made notes. Among them was a rectangular shaped item, which someone said was a "gold biscuit". That video with the "gold biscuit" reference is now in wide circulation.
It later turned out that it was a plastic perfume bottle, which was to be distributed along with other material among the party workers.
