The Uttar Pradesh BJP has formally reprimanded party MLA Rajeev Singh following an incident on the New Delhi-Bhopal Vande Bharat Express. The altercation involved passengers and has drawn media attention, prompting a show cause notice demanding an explanation from Singh within a week.

The discord reportedly began over a seating disagreement inside the train, escalating at Jhansi station with a passenger allegedly attacked by individuals linked to the MLA. The altercation has sparked concern within the party regarding its public image.

Despite Singh's claim of indecent behavior by a co-passenger against his family, further inquiries point towards aggressive actions by his supporters, intensifying scrutiny on Singh and the political dynamics surrounding the incident.
