The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has removed Sajjan Singh Yadav from his position as the Bhind district president of the Kisan Morcha after he celebrated his appointment with a large convoy of vehicles, contradicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent appeal for fuel conservation amid the West Asia crisis. Yadav's convoy, which included numerous SUVs and caused traffic disruptions, drew outrage on social media. In a letter dated May 14, Jaipal Chavda, the State unit chief of Kisan Morcha, stated that Yadav's actions were seen as indiscipline and a disregard for the Prime Minister's message. This incident is not isolated; other BJP leaders, such as Soubhagya Singh, have also been seen with large convoys shortly after Modi's appeal. The Opposition Congress criticized the BJP for failing to adhere to the Prime Minister's call for austerity, suggesting that the ruling party leaders are not making the same sacrifices expected of the public. In response, some senior BJP leaders have begun to reduce their convoy sizes and use public transport.
