Click to play videoChhindwara: Bhartiya Janashakti Party (BJS) President Uma Bharti made amends after slapping her party's district president in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district, Anil Rai, by showering kisses on him at a press conference.
Earlier, the mercurial leader had slapped Rai after she got enraged over her party workers gathering at the circuit house to welcome her.
Uma feared the large gathering could violate the moral code of conduct as it could be seen as a rally without permission.
Party sources said Bharti got infuriated when Rai was supposedly disturbing a meeting between Bharti and several persons by repeatedly calling them over their mobile phones.
Rai, who is a supporter of BJS breakaway faction led by Prahlad Patel was asking people to come out of the meeting and that annoyed Bharati, sources said.
Bharti asked Rai to get down from his car and slapped him twice in front of people and party workers.
"Rai was violating the model code of conduct and therefore, invited my wrath," she said.
However, Bharti refused to disclose how Rai was violating the model code of conduct.
Rai, who was also present at the press conference said Bharti was like his elder sister and she had the right to "beat him or love him".
