DHARAMSHALA: Himachal Pradesh former chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal on Wednesday added to the ongoing controversy in the BJP. An aide of Dhumal, former minister Ravinder Ravi, has not been included in the election campaign.
When asked about it, Dhumal shifted blame on health minister Vipin Parmar, saying the latter was responsible for it. "It is Vipin Parmar who is deputing leaders to work for the party.He is election in-charge in Dharamshala.
So, he should tell why Ravi has been ignored," he said. Parmar, who was accompanying the ex-minister, did not comment on the remark.
Infighting in the party came to the fore after Ravi was grilled by police over a viral message alleging corruption in the health department.
Congress leaders have also targeted BJP on this issue, with MLA Rajinder Rana accusing the government of not inquiring into the contents of message and just questioning the ex-minister
