“I don’t care whose son he is,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi with obvious anger and irritation, referring to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) general secretary, Kailash Vijayvargiya, whose son, Akash Vijayvargia, went after a civic official with a cricket bat. “Do you think this is the reason people voted for us?” he asked, referring to the Akash Vijayvargia incident. “The Prime Minister was visibly angry,’’ said an MP, who asked not to be named. The Prime Minister brought home the point of attendance by linking it to promotions. Towards the end of his speech, the Prime Minister asked MPs to plant five saplings each in all booths of their constituencies.
