Devda also said that if any worker or leader is unhappy with the decision, the matter will be resolved through discussions within the party. He said no situation will be allowed to affect the organisation.

Protest in Datia

The BJP's decision to field Ashutosh Tiwari instead of senior leader Narottam Mishra for the Datia Assembly bypoll sparked protests in the town.

Thousands of Mishra's supporters blocked the Gwalior-Jhansi Highway, while traders shut their shops and warned of bigger protests. Many supporters said Tiwari was unfamiliar to local voters, though he had served as the BJP's organisational secretary for the Bhopal division.
