SHIMLA: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jai Ram Thakur has outrightly rejected the claim of Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia about the BJP high command going to replace him with the Union minister Anurag Thakur. He also rubbished Sisodia’s claim of AAP’s successful rally in Mandi on Wednesday leaving BJP worried, saying only 3,000 people attended it and a similar number of people are normally out in the township on any regular day. He added that AAP’s Mandi rally was a flop show as no leader joined the party, as claimed.
Addressing a press conference in Delhi , Sisodia had said the BJP was scared of the growing popularity of AAP in Himachal Pradesh. “We have learnt from very reliable sources that the BJP wants to replace chief minister Jai Ram Thakur with Anurag Thakur, as it is scared of the popularity of Arvind Kejriwal and his model of governance in Delhi,” Sisodia claimed.
