Jyotiraditya Scindia stops BJP MP state chief from giving speech, asks him to take his seat back
Bhopal: State BJP president VD Sharma was stopped from giving speech by Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and had to return to his seat at a function in Shivpuri town to mark the translocation of tigers to Madhav National Park on Friday.
The video is being shared widely on social media as a sign of cleft within the saffron camp eight months before election. As a controversy erupted on Saturday, congress said it was public humiliation of the state BJP president even when BJP tried to explain that Scindia was following protocol by making the state BJP chief speak after him and "respect Sharma.”
CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Guna Lok Sabha MP KP Yadav, sports minister and local MLA Yashodhara Raje Scindia (Jyotiraditya's aunt), forest minister Vijay Shah and minister in-charge Mahendra Singh Sisodia were also at the event along with Sharma, the Khajuraho MP, and Scindia.
Khajuraho MP Sharma was invited to the podium after Yashodhara Raje to give the welcome speech. As Sharma started speaking, Scindia walked up to him and stopped him. The audience was stunned to see Sharma returning to his seat. BJP tried to explain the matter.
State BJP spokesman and media cell chief Lokendra Parashar said, "During the Shivpuri function yesterday, Scindia took the step to respect state BJP president. This is the system of BJP, Where the party’s organization president is considered at the helm. The president is the most honourable and hence, his speech comes at the end."
He added, “the Union minister knew that a mistake had been made and that the state BJP chief should speak after him. That is why he requested the speech should be afterwards.”
Congress media cell chief KK Mishra tweeted, “It is the Scindia family tradition to sideline other leaders and surge ahead.”
He added,”Union minister wanted to take all the credit for translocation of the tigers, so he publicly humiliated VD Sharma and didn't let KP Yadav speak at the function.”

Cong cites Kangana's purported remarks to accuse BJP of wanting to bring back repealed farm laws
New Delhi, Sep 24: The Congress on Tuesday cited BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's purported remarks on farm laws to allege that the ruling party was making efforts to bring back the three laws that were repealed in 2021, and asserted that Haryana will give a befitting reply to it.
The Congress shared on X an undated video of Ranaut in which she is purportedly saying in Hindi, "Farm laws that have been repealed should be brought back. I think this may get controversial. The laws in farmers' interest be brought back. Farmers should themselves demand this (to bring farm laws back) so that there is no hindrance to their prosperity.
"Farmers are a pillar of strength in India's progress. Only in some states, they had objected to farm laws. I appeal with folded hands that farm laws should be brought back in the interest of farmers."
In a post in Hindi along with the video, the Congress said, "The three black laws imposed on farmers should be brought back: BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has said this. More than 750 farmers of the country were martyred, only then did the Modi government wake up and these black laws were withdrawn."
Now BJP MPs are planning to bring back these laws, the Congress alleged.
"The Congress is with the farmers. These black laws will never return, no matter how hard Narendra Modi and his MPs try," the opposition party said on X.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also shared the video of Ranaut on X and said, "'All three farm laws should be brought back': BJP MP Kangana Ranaut. More than 750 farmers were martyred while protesting against the three black farmer laws. Efforts are being made to bring them back."
"We will never let that happen. Haryana will answer first," she said in an apparent reference to the assembly polls in Haryana.
Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera also shared the video on X and said it was the BJP's "real thinking".
"How many times will you deceive the farmers, you two-faced people?" Khera said in a post in Hindi.
The three laws -- Farmer's Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act -- were repealed in November 2021.
The farmers' protest started at the fag-end of November 2020 and ended after Parliament repealed the three laws. The legislations came into force in June 2020 and were repealed in November 2021.
