Jammu, Feb 26: The open criticism of a turncoat Minister of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) by a senior party leader in a function at Kathua, has left the Minister totally bewildered, who has now been trying hard to show massive public support by attending staged managed public durbars.
Sources informed Early Times that the senior BJP leader, while inaugurating Passport Office in Kathua openly trained his guns on a turncoat BJP Minister, who was blamed for doing everything for his personal benefits rather than for the public.
