Senior BJP leader Bishan Singh Chufal who was not included in the Pushkar Singh Dhami cabinet which took oath on Wednesday has blamed Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari for Dhami overlooking his claim to a cabinet berth. Seemingly upset, Chufal, a six time MLA said that he is not on good terms with Koshyari since the year 1996 and he has always paid a price for this. He said that he is simple and does not believe in factionalism. “I am very simple in nature and have provided my blood and sweat to the party. But now it appears that there is no place for simple people,’’ he said.On the non selection of Chufal it was believed that he would resign from his membership of assembly to pave the way for CM Dhami and he would be sent to Rajya Sabha. However Chufal claimed that he had not been approached by anyone and would not leave his seat for anyone. He added that he would now take the matter to the party high command.
