Worried over the surfacing of serpents at the venue of the party’s three-day national council meeting beginning from February 17 near here, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to depute two snake charmers to ensure that reptiles don’t harm any one during the meeting to be held in tents.
“We have decided to depute two snake charmers at the three-day national council meeting venue,” Madhya Pradesh Industries and Commerce Minister Kailash Vijaywargiya told PTI on Tuesday.
He said that the township in which the meeting is being organised in tents is far off from the city and was close to the forest area. “We don’t want to take chances and that’s why we have decided to depute two snake charmers round the clock during the meeting,” a BJP leader assigned with the making of the arrangements during the event remarked.
Madhya Pradesh Minister of State for Public Health and Family Welfare Mahendra Hardia had seen a serpent crawling at the meeting venue two days back, BJP insiders said.
