In the letters issued by the party high command, it has been said that their acts were contrary to the ideology of the party and fell in the category of serious indiscipline. The party has sought a written explanation from these leaders within seven days; otherwise, they were warned of disciplinary action.

In the notices issued from the BJP headquarters, it has been clearly stated that the social media posts and public statements of these leaders have damaged the image of the party.

In these notices sent by State General Secretary Govind Narayan Shukla, it was clearly stated that such statements are against the ideology of the party.

In the letters issued to the three leaders, instructions have been given that they will have to appear in the state office and give their reply within seven days. Along with giving an ultimatum, it has also been said that if the explanation given by the leaders is not found satisfactory, then the party will take strict disciplinary action.

Earlier this week, former district president Manoj Shukla and Rajesh Tiwari, along with other BJP leaders, on Monday opened a front against Minister of State for Women Welfare, Child Development, and Nutrition Pratibha Shukla and her husband and former MP Anil Shukla Warsi.

They leveled 22 allegations against both of them. Most of the people present at the press conference were Brahmin leaders. They claimed that Anil Shukla is trying to become a big leader of Brahmins and is dividing BJP workers based on caste. He patronizes the mining mafia and collects donations by putting pressure.

Before that, Pratibha Shukla and her husband, Anil Shukla, had made many allegations against Akbarpur BJP MP Devendra Singh Bhole. On July 25, both husband and wife sat on a dharna in Akbarpur Kotwali for six hours. Even then, many allegations were made against Bhole. Bhole did not give any answer, but the leaders who held the press conference are considered to be close to the MP.
