Although the images shared on social media were ascribed as moment of joy among friends, but it provided Joshiís opponents a chance to mobilise against him.
The netizens raises some pertinent questions like when the administration has imposed a Janta Curfew in Ujjain from April 9 and banned people from venturing out of the house without urgent work, then how come Joshi went to a farm house with his supporters? Those violating Janta Curfew are being booked, sent to jail and their vehicles are being confiscated, then why did Joshi violate the restrictions imposed by the local administration?

According to him, farmhouse is just 2 km far away and he reached there after attending a party programme. ìI did not go to the party and in fact I went to get some saplings. We were only three persons. After staying there for two hours, I came back home, though I have not yet planted the saplings in my house,î Joshi clarified.
