After the dispute of Prem Nagar ashram, for the first time, Cabinet Ministers Madan Kaushik and Satpal Maharaj were seen together on one stage. During the district working committee meet of the Bharatiya Janata Party, coincidentally, both were seen sitting beside each other. An unusual tension could be construed by some on the faces of both the Ministers and breaking the silence Madan Kaushik initiated by greeting Satpal Maharaj in response to which the Maharaj vented out his anger.

All the lensmen’s eyes were focused on these two personalities in the district working committee meeting of the BJP. Satpal Maharaj was seen complaining to Madan Kaushik who is said to be in full support of the Haridwar Mayor Manoj Garg. Satpal said, “You broke the wall, never mind, but what was the reason behind the comdemnable act of throwing garbage near the ashram front gateIJ Tomorrow you will make the ashram a dumping yard.”

When asked by the mediapersons, Madan Kaushik said that there was no dispute and the matter shall be resolved by amicable means.

Meanwhile BJP State president Ajay Bhatt said that there was no factionalism in the party. There was some misunderstanding and if someone is adamant on asking for apology, he himself would apologise. Madan Kaushik and others seemed to be in the mood to resolve the situation while Satpal Maharaj was seen with a frown on his face when the matter of dispute was discussed.

Earlier, presiding as representative of the State Government at national working committee of Akhil Bharatiya Agarwal Sammelan on Sunday afternoon organised in Ganga Swaroop ashram, Urban Development Minister Madan Kaushik said that the Government would use the works of Agarwal society in the development of the nation.

He said that Agarwal Samaj people were contributing in a major way in the development of the nation. Apart from economic activities, the community was engaged in many social activities. He said that it was imperative that all communities joined together in the development of the nation.
