A Few Days Back..
A controversy arose within the BJP following an event for the unveiling of Jiwaji Rao Scindia’s statue at Jiwaji University in Gwalior.
Local leaders, including Gwalior MP Bharat Singh Kushwaha and Mayor Shobha Singh Sikrwar, were reportedly excluded from the invitation, which upset many. This omission sparked concerns about the party’s unity, with questions raised regarding internal divisions within the BJP.
