BJP MLA Narendra Singh Kushwah Summoned By BJP State President Hemant Khandelwal

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Two days after locking horns with the Bhind Collector over an alleged fertilizer crisis and even showing his fist at him, BJP MLA Narendra Singh Kushwah met BJP President Hemant Khandelwal at the party office on Friday. 

He reportedly presented his side before Khandelwal.

The exact details of the meeting are yet to come out, but it is believed that Khandelwal expressed his displeasure over the incident, which has left the ruling party in an embarrassing situation.

Notably, on Wednesday, Kushwah staged a protest outside the residence of Bhind Collector Sanjeev Shrivastava. 

He accused him of failing to ensure an adequate amount of fertilizer supply to farmers in the state. When the Collector came out to meet him at the gate, Kushwah allegedly hurled abuses and even showed a fist at him. 

The Collector reportedly told him that he would not allow plundering of sand in the area.

The incident has dented the image of the government. The Collector also alleged that Kushwah pressured him not to act tough against illegal sand mining.
