BJP’s Dharamsala nominee Sudhir Sharma meets Kangra MP Kishan Kapoor
Dharamsala, May 5
Congress rebel and now BJP candidate for Dharamsala Assembly bypoll Sudhir Sharma met Kangra BJP MP Kishan Kapoor at his residence here today.
The meeting between the two leaders has come as a relief for the BJP as it has managed to quell dissidence within the party for Dharamsala Assembly bypoll.
Kapoor had shown dissent after Sudhir Sharma was given the ticket. He also didn’t take part in the party campaign for the bypoll and Lok Sabha polls.
The MP’s son, Shashwat Kapoor, had been appointed as the state vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM). According to sources, Kishan Kapoor was annoyed at his own party leaders for treating him “shabbily” in party workers meetings.
Kapoor had said he condemned the speech of one of his own party leaders in Palampur which was published in some newspapers. In the speech, a BJP leader reportedly said “expired” leaders have no place in the party.
