New Delhi, July 22
BJP working president JP Nadda on Monday “pulled up” Bhopal MP Pragya Singh Thakur for her remarks that she was not elected to the Lok Sabha for cleaning up toilets, comments that were seen to be mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ campaign.
She was summoned to the BJP headquarters, where Nadda conveyed to her the party leadership’s displeasure with her comments made at Sehore in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, party sources said. Thakur was pulled up and asked to refrain from making statements that go against the party’s programmes and ideology, they said. The BJP MP declined to speak to reporters as she left the party office. — PTI
