Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Former minister Deepak Saxena faced enough embarrassment during the roadshow of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Chhindwara on Tuesday night as security personnel asked him to step down from Shah’s chariot. In a video, which has gone viral on social media, a security personnel is seen holding the hand of Saxena, who recently joined BJP by deserting the Congress, and asking him to step down from the vehicle.
Helplessly, Saxena was trying to say something to the security personnel. Taking a potshot over the incident, the Congress said on ‘X’ that “Deepak Saxena, who participated in the roadshow of Amit Shah, was forcibly asked to step down from the vehicle of Amit Shah. The people of Chhindwara saw the insult of those who switched over to BJP.”
