BJP president said, restrained conduct is necessary in public places
BJP State President Mahendra Bhatt strongly condemned the scuffle case of Cabinet Minister Premchand Aggarwal. At the same time, he also expected that everyone should behave in a restrained manner in public places. Bhatt said that the manner in which the dispute between the cabinet minister and the youth caught fire and reached the scuffle, it is sad. Strict action will be taken regarding the attack on the cabinet minister. Such incidents do not send a good message.
Old association with controversies:
Cabinet Minister Premchand Agarwal has been in constant discussions due to controversies. Earlier, he had come in controversies regarding the statement made in the media in the matter of backdoor recruitment in the Vidhansabha. After this he exercised great restraint in his statements. But now again got into a new controversy. In 2018, while being the then Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, he came into controversies regarding the job of his son in the Jal Sansthan through the Upanal. In Rishikesh itself in 2019, during a program of the Union Jal Shakti Minister, the video of a heated clash between him and Bhagat Ram Kothari, who was in charge of the then government, went viral. This dispute had reached the central leadership. In the present government, before going on Germany tour, Agarwal made 74 transfers in the Urban Development Department, which was stopped by CM Dhami. Agarwal had also come in controversies for stopping the work of transit camp in AIIMS.
