Khanpur MLA Pranav Singh ‘Champion’ and his Jhabreda counterpart Deshraj Karnwal have buried the hatchet formally. Addressing the media jointly, the two MLAs said that the cases they had lodged against each other would also be withdrawn. The two MLAs addressed a Press conference here on Wednesday. Champion said that following the intervention of Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, the disagreements had been resolved.
He said that he had heeded to the CM’s directions as he was his political senior, while adding that there was no pressure on him to resolve the issue.
His Jhabreda counterpart, echoing Champion’s words, added that the cases the duo had lodged against each other in the court would be withdrawn. The process for this would be started.
The two MLAs stressed that their differences had been resolved. It is pertinent to mention here that controversial statements made by Champion and Karnwal against each other had escalated into a public spat last year. Then too, following the CM’s intervention, the dispute appeared to have been resolved. However, a viral video clip showing the Khanpur MLA in a questionable manner resulted in his expulsion from the Bharatiya Janata Party for a period of six years. Later, the two MLAs also targeted each other either through cases in the high court or through police complaints.
