Bharatiya Janata Party’s Uttar Pradesh unit president Swatantra Dev Singh issued shows cause notice to its Sitapur Sadar legislator Rakesh Rathore for his comments against the party brass and asked him to submit his reply within a week.
In his letter to Rathore, BJP general secretary Vidyasagar Sonkar said that there were reports of anti-party activities which he should explain within a week’s time.
Sonkar further said, “We have asked for an explanation from the MLA and will wait for his reply before taking action.”
Recently, an audio had gone viral in which the Sitapur MLA was heard ridiculing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to people to clap and motivate corona warriors.
“Can clapping or banging vessels drive corona away? This was a stupid act. China, which is a global power, is working hard to control the disease and here we are making people do stupid things,” Rathore was heard telling a BJP leader, who called on him for a favour.
