Summary:
In the press meet, Maharaj added, “I challenge Congress to name the BJP leader who is joining their party. Since Monday rumours of a BJP leader joining the Congress were doing the rounds and the needle of suspicion had hit three BJP leaders — Harak Singh Rawat, Vijay Bahuguna and Satpal Maharaj. Dehradun: State cabinet minister and senior BJP leader Satpal Maharaj on Wednesday rubbished rumours that a BJP leader is going to join the Congress during Rahul Gandhi’s much-awaited visit to Dehradun on March 16.Speaking with TOI over the phone, Maharaj said, “I am not such a leader who changes sides like this. Maharaj, a former MP from Pauri, had joined the BJP in March 2014. They came up with this ugly gimmick to hurt those who joined the BJP, knowing fully well that we are with Modiji and the BJP,” he said..
