Judeo was caught on camera with his now famous quote: Gar paise khuda nahi, toh khuda ki kasam, khuda se kam bhi nahi (If money is not God, by God, it is not any lesser than God). This was a huge embarrassment for the BJP, which had always made corruption as the poll campaign against the Congress.
When its own leader was seen on camera, receiving money, the Vajpayee Government was forced to drop Judeo. But Judeo continued to be an influential party leader. He was sitting BJP MP from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh.
