The top brass of the BJP is increasingly alarmed by the reckless and outlandish remarks made by leaders from Madhya Pradesh. Recently, the party's three most senior figures were seen making questionable comments both on social media and in various meetings source says. This troubling behavior has compelled the national leadership, including the party’s president and Home Minister, to take the unusual step of personally overseeing a three-day workshop aimed at refining the public presentation skills of these leaders. The goal is to educate them on how to conduct themselves in front of the camera, as well as what to say and when to say it, a source reveals. This initiative is seen as a desperate attempt to salvage the party's image source says.
One glaring incident involved Vijay Shah, a prominent minister, who made disparaging remarks regarding the esteemed defense officer, Kureshi. This prompted a significant backlash, escalating all the way to the Supreme Court, which mandated an apology from the minister and led to the formation of an inquiry commission to investigate the matter thoroughly. Another troubling statement came from the Deputy Chief Minister, whose words undermined the reputation of the defense forces, sparking outrage among the public. Additionally, Kailash Vijayvargiya, known for his controversial opinions, drew ire when he commented on the attire of women, igniting a firestorm that has made it difficult for senior party leaders to mend the rifts created by these remarks source says.
A faction within the party believes that if these leaders are not reined in, the fallout could be catastrophic, leading to irreparable harm to the party's reputation, a source warns. As tensions rise and public sentiment shifts, the leadership is grappling with the urgent need to reinstate a sense of decorum and responsibility among its representatives source says.
