MP leaders summoned over vehicle convoys:Ignored PM Modi’s appeal, party, and govt to seek answers; report also demanded from Delhi

Strictness has increased against BJP leaders who ignored Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal for fuel conservation and restraint on vehicle convoys. Leaders who held rallies with large-vehicle convoys in the state have been summoned to Bhopal on May 17. They will be asked for an explanation at both organisational and government levels. The BJP high command in Delhi has also sought a detailed report on the entire matter. The Bhaskar app had raised the issue on May 15 about leaders taking out vehicle rallies despite the PM’s appeal, and no action being taken. Following this, the central leadership took the matter seriously and sought a response from the state BJP. Vehicle rallies taken out at 8-9 places According to sources, even after the Prime Minister’s appeal on May 10, welcome rallies with large vehicle convoys were taken out at 8-9 places in Madhya Pradesh. This is being considered a direct defiance of the PM’s appeal. The state BJP has taken immediate steps, summoning the concerned leaders to Bhopal on May 17. Senior office bearers of the organization, officials from the Chief Minister’s office, and other responsible leaders will be present at the meeting. Leaders will be asked why rallies were held despite the PM’s appeal. Further action may be taken if the answer is not satisfactory. Action has already been taken against these individuals Questions raised on rallies of these leaders, summoned to Bhopal Chief Minister reduced 5 vehicles from the convoy Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav himself has reduced 5 vehicles from his convoy. The Deputy CM and other ministers have also reduced the number of vehicles in their convoys. The party is now emphasizing that the Prime Minister’s appeal should be implemented at all levels. After the inquiry to be held in Bhopal on May 17, further action may be taken if indiscipline is found. BJP sources say that the party will not give any leader a pass to maintain discipline.
