A case of criminal intimidation has been registered against around 350 BJP workers including the party's general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya after a video purportedly showing him threatening government officials here went viral on social media.
The video, apparently shot during a protest organised by the BJP in Residency area of Indore on Friday, showed Vijayvargiya saying, "Our Sangh (RSS) leaders are (here), otherwise (we) would have set Indore on fire today."
In the video, the BJP leader was heard saying, "Is there some protocol or not? We are making a written request to government officials that we want to meet them. Will they not even inform us that they are out of town? We will not tolerate this at all."
Speaking at Singoli in Neemuch district on Sunday, an unfazed Vijayvargiya said, "If I venture into MP, (chief minister) Kamal Nath won't sleep for a night peacefully. The officers should stay in their limits and remember (Bollywood film) Sholay's dialogue "tera kya hoga (Kaliya)" (what will happen to you) if the BJP comes to power in the state."
Describing Congress leaders as "fatichar" (worthless), Vijayvargiya said, "Those who did not even have the money to get their bicycles' flat tyres mended, are now moving in Bolero (an SUV)."
