A day after two BJP MLAs backed the Congress-led government during the voting on a bill in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, state BJP chief Rakesh Singh said the party is “united” and there is no groupism.
Singh, the Lok Sabha MP from Jabalpur, rushed here from Delhi on Wednesday after the BJP’s central leadership took a dim view of two party MLAs - Narayan Tripathi and Sharad Kol - voting in favour of the bill moved by the Congress in the state Assembly.
“Everything is under control,” Singh told reporters here on Thursday.
Earlier after reaching Bhopal, Singh met Leader of the Opposition Gopal Bhargava and former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to find out reasons behind the two MLAs backing the Congress-led government during the voting on the bill.
Singh is likely to apprise the BJP central leadership about the two MLAs’ action by Thursday evening, party sources said.
