The Swamitv Adhikar Yojana launch in Indore saw the distribution of property registry documents to thousands of citizens. Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav credited city secretary Gaurav Ranadive for pulling the event together on short notice, with BJP National President Nitin Nabin in attendance.
Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya replied, thanking Yadav for revealing a "secret" before congratulating Ranadive. A clip of the exchange went viral, sparking discussions about possible factional rifts within the party.
Ranadive, once seen as a protégé of Vijayvargiya and MLA Ramesh Mendola when he was appointed Indore BJP city president, has climbed the ranks, drawing renewed scrutiny over his ties to the senior leader. The pair still share the stage at public events.
AICC media coordinator Nilabh Shukla seized the moment, claiming the remarks exposed intra‑party factionalism and questioned coordination among top leaders. The Congress is now urging a formal clarification, with party heads expected to respond in a meeting scheduled for next week.
