Since the Kamal Nath government took office in the state, leaders like Jyotiraditya Scindia and Digvijaya Singh on several occasions have made public their disappointment and dissent on many issues.

The entire incident started on Sunday afternoon after BJP leaders and workers took out a rally in support of CAA in Beora town despite section 144 being in place.

He urged them to focus on issues of public good that need immediate attention rather than instigating people for petty reasons on such emotive issues that have already been decided upon.
