BJP lawmaker Akash Vijayvargiya has been issued show cause notice by the Bharatiya Janata Party asking him to explain why he thrashed beat a civic officer with a cricket bat in Indore, news agency ANI said. The BJP notice to the Indore legislator for his action last month comes soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi signaled his strong disapproval of the legislator’s conduct. Akash Vijayvargiya is son of senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya who is credited with the party’s impressive performance in Mamata Banerjee’s West Bengal. PM Modi had frowned at the huge welcome that the legislator was extended by BJP workers and suggested that they should be identified and booted out of the party. A BJP leader said party would wait to hear Akash’s explanation before rushing to take disciplinary action against him.
