Criticising the government for the move, BJP MLA Rameshwar said that the incident shows petty mentality of the Kamal Nath government.
"If due to any mistake, cards with Deen Dayal ji's photo were distributed. The government has a feeling of enmity with the people associated with Hindu nationalist ideology.
