No BJP leaders at airport to receive Dhankhar; Digvijaya terms it 'use and throw policy'
Bhopal (PTI): Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh on Friday took a swipe at the BJP, as no leader of the ruling party received former vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar at the airport here, claiming that it follows the "use-and-throw" policy.
After resigning as vice president four months ago, Dhankhar on Friday made his first public speech at the launch of a book authored by senior RSS functionary Manmohan Vaidya.
Reacting to the absence of BJP leaders at the airport, Singh said the saffron party considers only those people important who serve its immediate interests. "It follows 'use and throw policy,'" he said, talking to reporters.
"I can't say this about the RSS, as he has come to attend their program," the Rajya Sabha MP added.
Singh also said he had sought an appointment from the official accompanying the former vice president to meet Dhankhar.

RCB score imposing 240/4 against MI in IPL match
Mumbai (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli blasted half-centuries as the defending champions put up an imposing 240 for 4 -- the second-highest score this season -- against Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.
Salt smashed a 36-ball 78, studded with six boundaries and as many maximums, while stalwart Kohli made a composed 50 off 38 balls, as the duo put on a polished 120-run stand for the opening wicket.
Salt was dismissed by Shardul Thakur in his very first over, the team's 11th, providing a huge sigh of relief to MI.
Skipper Rajat Patidar then took over from where Salt left off, scoring a rapid 53 off just 20 balls, studded with four boundaries and five sixes, as RCB made quite a statement.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field.
Brief scores: 240 for 4 in 20 overs (Phil Salt 78, Virat Kohli 50, Rajat Patidar 53, Tim David 35 not out).
