Shah said, "Yes, I became aware of the video after it was circulated. We inquired about it and were told that the water tank and pump of the fire brigade vehicle were faulty, and the vehicle had come to the residence of the municipal commissioner and the chairman to fill the water tank. I did not ask anyone to wash my vehicle. No MLA washes his own vehicle; the driver does it. But when the matter came to my attention, I asked about it. There is no issue in this, but those whose deposits have been forfeited are making an issue out of it..."
