Minister of State Brijendra Singh Yadav was taking out Vikas Yatra along with BJP workers in Mungavali assembly of Ashok Nagar, Madhya Pradesh. During this, the Minister of State suddenly started itching. After this, Minister of State Brijendra Singh Yadav had to go some distance away from the meeting and wash his face by taking off his kurta. Meanwhile, someone made a video of this entire incident and made it viral on social media. In this, he is seen saying that someone has planted crèche pods (itch plant).

So acute was the itching that the minister had to remove his kurta and wash himself with bottled water. Videos recorded by some in the audience have gone viral on social media.

Two days ago, another Vikas Rath was stuck on a rickety road as it was travelling through a village in Khandwa district. It triggered an acrimonious exchange between local BJP MLA Devendra Verma, who was leading the yatra, and a former sarpanch or headman of the village.

The Vikas Yatras were flagged off by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday and will continue till February 25.

BJP leaders say the statewide marches are aimed at spreading the state government’s development mantra across the state. In course of this campaign, the government plans to launch development projects and reach out to the beneficiaries of various schemes, the party said.
