# BJP MP Rao Inderjit publicly questions party chief Nitin Nabin 2026-08-14T17:12:27+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh publicly questioned BJP national president Nitin Nabin at a Partition remembrance event in Gurugram on Friday, objecting that local MP and MLAs were not invited. The six-time Gurugram MP asked from the stage why elected representatives were excluded while outsiders attended, and drew comparisons with other BJP leaders. The minister said his name was missing from initial invitations and added only after Haryana BJP president Archana Gupta intervened. The event, organised by the Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Nyas, turned awkward as Singh also objected to the programme being projected as a 'community-specific' affair. Nabin used the platform to blame Congress for Partition and praise the Modi government's remembrance initiative. Sources told The Hindu that Singh's office had not received a formal invitation until the Chief Minister's Office intervened a day earlier. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com - thehindu.com Tags: BJP, Gurugram, Nitin Nabin, Partition, Rao Inderjit Singh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rao-inderjit-questions-bjp-chief-over-mps-exclusion-at-event/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
