Just look at his arrogance — see how he is behaving in front of Cabinet Minister Dhan Singh Rawat. The internal conflict within @BJP4UK is evident. You have entrusted the development and future of Uttarakhand to these honorable leaders. Wake up, people of Uttarakhand!” (archived today)

Another handle Bheem Singh Rawat wrote, “What kind of mentality is this? Just tell me — when a BJP MLA is abusing a BJP Cabinet Minister, why does everyone fall silent? What do you think of the people of the hills? Have you taken them for granted, you leftists?” (archived link)
