MP Bharat Singh Kushwaha went to the stage in Gwalior to invite minister Imarti Devi, but she declined, stating she acts according to her own will.
Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh – During a public event, Member of Parliament Bharat Singh Kushwaha approached the podium to call state minister Imarti Devi onto the stage. When the invitation was extended, Devi chose not to appear, asserting that she makes decisions independently.
Kushwaha, a senior BJP representative, had intended the appearance to highlight a joint initiative, but Devi responded with a brief statement, "I am the master of my own will," and remained off‑stage. The exchange drew attention from attendees and local media.
No further comments were recorded from either official, and the program continued without Devi's participation. The incident underscores occasional friction within party ranks over public appearances.
The event concluded with other scheduled speakers, and no additional actions were reported regarding the matter.
