Local BJP functionary Ramphal Sharma stood up from his seat, along with other party members, and asked the minister why the MLA was insulted. “We can’t attend the meeting any longer as our MLA didn’t get his place to sit, which is an insult to everyone. Therefore we are going from the meeting as a mark of protest,” he announced.
BJP members and Dhanak then had an arguments over the issue. Later, the minister assured them to bring Middha back and stopped the meeting. Dhanak went out to call the MLA back to the meeting and managed to bring him back after half an hour. It was only then the meeting, in which complaints of local residents, were being heard started.
Sources claimed that Anup followed MLA Middha till Pindara village and appealed to him to attend the meeting. From there, they returned together and held the meeting.
