During a beneficiary conference in Kolayat, Bikaner, supporters of former minister Devi Singh Bhati and Anshuman Singh Bhati raised slogans. The workers were angry as Anshuman Singh was not invited.
This entire incident occurred while Minister Sumit Godara was present on the stage. The anger of the workers turned the event into a political platform, bringing the party's internal factionalism to the surface.
The main allegation of the workers was that local MLA Anshuman Singh Bhati was not invited to this government program.
Additionally, the photos of Devi Singh Bhati and Anshuman Singh were also missing from the event's posters, which caused deep dissatisfaction among the supporters. This led them to start sloganeering.
Seeing the growing commotion, Cabinet Minister Sumit Godara tried to handle the situation. He addressed the supporters from the stage itself and attempted to calm the atmosphere by praising the party's senior leaders.
Minister Godara recalled the contributions of former minister Devi Singh Bhati and his family. He said:
"Devi Singh Bhati did the work of nurturing the BJP in every village. We are proud of him. Thanks to his hard work and contribution, the BJP reached every village in this region, and Mahendra Singh Bhati became the first BJP MP."
On the allegations of not inviting Anshuman Singh Bhati, Minister Godara clarified that it was a government program.
He acknowledged the possibility of some shortcomings in the organization. Announcing from the stage, he said, "If there have been any shortcomings, we will hold a separate program with everyone after four months."
The atmosphere calmed down to some extent after the minister's statement. However, this entire incident has exposed the ongoing internal tussle within the Kolayat unit of the BJP.
Political analysts are viewing this as a sign of future strategies. Currently, discussions about this incident are ongoing in the region.
