The union Minister of Transport and national highways Nitin Gadkari who was outed from the BJP’s parliamentary party on Wednesday, despite his being the former BJP chief while others being included could not attend this function, though he was the chief guest unambiguously sending a message of his absence due to this very reason, though the organisers of the book release function said that he could not make it due to his being stucked up in a national council meeting convened by prime minister Narendra Modi.
The main attraction if the show apart from Dr. Murli Manihar Joshi was the son of late Sanjay and Maneka Gandhi Varun Gandhi, MP who attended the book release function but was not seated on the stage due to the prefixed arrangement. However, he and Asutosh, senior journalist, who’d left AAP and joined his journalistic profession again was lauded by none other than Apoorva Joshi, senior journalist publisher Pakhi and editor of Sunday Post for his brave outbursts despite his being BJP MP on burning national issues of people’s concern.
