NEW DELHI:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the BJP’s membership drive from Varanasi on July 6 during which, he told party workers, at least five trees should be planted in every booth across the country.
He also told party lawmakers that if anybody brings a bad name to the organisation with their conduct, then it is “unacceptable”, party sources said.
PM Modi’s comments assume significance as they come in the wake of the arrest of senior party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya’s lawmaker son Akash Vijayvargiya for allegedly attacking a government official with a cricket bat.
