Authority President arrives with convoy of 200-vehicles:Rally blocks road, causes traffic jam; Congress slams PM’s appeal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal for fuel conservation appears to have had little impact on BJP leaders in Madhya Pradesh, as several large convoy rallies were witnessed in Chhatarpur and Singrauli. In Chhatarpur, State Women’s Commission chairperson Rekha Yadav took out a convoy of hundreds of vehicles, leading to severe traffic congestion. Meanwhile, in Singrauli, Development Authority chairman Virendra Goyal travelled in an e-rickshaw from Baidhan, but more than 200 vehicles reportedly followed his convoy. Similarly, Textbook Corporation chairman Saubhagya Singh, Small Industries Corporation chairman Satyendra Bhushan Singh, and BJP MLA Pritam Singh Lodhi also organised convoys of around 200 vehicles each during their public appearances. First Case – Traffic Jam Due to Show of Strength In Chhatarpur, Rekha Yadav led a convoy of luxury vehicles near the BJP office, resulting in a long traffic jam on the road. Commuters were stuck for a long time as the vehicles blocked movement, and public anger was visible due to the disruption.

He traveled approximately 27 kilometers from Morwa to Majan Mod. Regarding the matter, Virendra Goyal said that he fully supports the Prime Minister’s appeal. That’s why he himself set out riding in an e-rickshaw. The convoy following behind consisted of workers and supporters who joined in enthusiasm. It was not possible to stop them. See these pictures… Chairman will assume charge with simplicity Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had earlier stated that newly appointed officials in boards and corporations should take charge in a simple manner, and fuel saving is the responsibility of every citizen, not just the government. Congress said – Different rules for those in power The Congress party criticised the BJP on social media, saying that while Prime Minister Modi advises citizens to reduce fuel consumption, leaders of his own party are ignoring the appeal. The party called it a double standard between public sacrifice and political display of power. These people also showed indiscipline, but no action taken 1.
