The BJP will organise a training camp for its leaders in Bhopal to enhance their communication skills and avoid goof-ups in public, a move the party sought to delink from controversies surrounding two ministers over their remarks on Col Sophia Qureshi and the armed forces.The state BJP claimed the training initiative was pre-planned and a routine intra-party affair.
“It has nothing to do with recent statements of BJP leaders. Such events are held routinely, and nothing more should be read into it,” MP BJP spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi said.
The schedule of the training camp, which will be organised in June, will be out shortly, he said.
The BJP faced criticism after state Tribal Affairs Minister Vijay Shah purportedly termed Colonel Sofia Quereshi, the face of media briefings on Operation Sindoor, a ‘sister of terrorists’, during his public speech.
