When contacted over Vyas’s comment on the social media, Gujarat BJP spokesperson Yamal Vyas said, “It was routine online meeting of the organization in which around 350 party members were expected to participate. Such meetings happen every week. We have a call center at Shree Kamalam from where people make reminder calls to those expected in the meeting.
