The man who had to be told to stop speaking at the BJP meet

March 23, 2016 14:00

Juicy stories trickling in on the BJP's just-concluded national executive meet. First up is the one about the party's general secretary (organisation) Ram Lal, who was asked to speak on the opening day of the meeting. Ram Lal droned on and on and would have probably gone on for hours had BJP president Amit Shah not intervened and told him on the mic to end his speech. Ram Lal is a nominee of the RSS.

But it wasn't just his long-drawn speech, but his long-winded eulogies to the PM that upset Modi. It is popularly believed that Venkaiah Naidu took his cue from Ram Lal when he went up to speak.
