New Delhi: BJP working president J P Nadda has expressed displeasure over party MP Sadhvi Pragya's controversial statement, wherein she reportedly said she was not eleced to "clean toilets and drains", saying she should refrain from making such comments.
Pragya was also summoned to the party office in Delhi by Nadda and BJP organisational general secretary B L Santosh.
The BJP MP from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, while addressing her party workers
said she was elected to "clean toilets and drains" in the state.
"We haven't been elected to clean your drains, ok? We haven't been elected to clean your toilets, please understand. The work for which I have been elected, I will do honestly, I have said that before and I will say it again," she said.
Many of the party leaders took her statement as arrogant and against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' or clean India mission.
According to sources, when the party high command questioned Pragya on her comment, she didn't say anything.
While campaigning for the Lok Sabha election, the saffron-robed politician, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts, had made a series of controversial statements like describing Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse as a patriot.
