“Yesterday the CM and president of BJP went on record and getting into a political twist trying to make the inefficiencies incompetences of the present cm to handle this present situation had tried to play a blame game by putting me and two of my colleagues in a vain,” he said.
“The twist in the story is they are finding way out to blame somebody of incompetences and inefficiency their government,” he commented.
