Shivpuri (MP): No BJP leader was present to receive Sushma Swaraj, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, when her chopper landed at around 1.45 PM, except the media. No party vehicle was seen at the spot, but a security vehicle with a tag ‘Escort’.
When she realised she was sitting in an escort vehicle, she asked the driver to stop and returned to the helipad where she found a few local BJP leaders whom she asked about Pawaiya who was reportedly in Ashoknagar town at that time.
When efforts to contact Pawaiya proved futile, Sushma got angry at the “shoddy” arrangements and refused to address the party’s rally in Shivpuri and left for Ashoknagar in the same chopper to address a scheduled public meeting at 2.18 PM, sources added.
However, before addressing the rally in Ashoknagar, she publicly scolded Pawaiya who was present at the spot, over the treatment meted out to her at Shivpuri Both Shivpuri and Ashoknagar are parts of the Guna Parliamentary constituency. Pawaiya is in the fray against Congress stalwart and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia from Guna seat.
