The BJP leader sparked a political storm after using an inappropriate word on camera when a journalist questioned him about the contamination. The incident is the latest in a long list of controversies involving the BJP leader. In October 2025, Vijayvargiya drew criticism for comments on the molestation of two Australian women cricketers in Indore. In June 2025, he again criticised women wearing “skimpy clothes”, calling it a foreign idea of beauty inconsistent with Indian traditions. In the 2023 Assembly elections, Akash was not fielded from Indore-3 and had to make way for his father.
