Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday warned BJP MPs, and through them its leaders, that arrogant behaviour by them would not be tolerated by him and such persons would be sacked from the party. “Whoever it is, whoever’s son or daughter, such behaviour will not be tolerated,” he said, according to those present at the meeting. The Prime Minister also stressed that if mistakes were made, a sense of apology should prevail. Akash Vijaywargiya had been unrepentant after he had hit a municipal employee with a cricket bat and had been arrested. Sources said that after the Prime Minister’s stern admonition, the first term MLA may face disciplinary action.
