BJP president J P Nadda on Sunday said the party won’t replace Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and upcoming state Assembly polls will be contested under his leadership. Nadda made the statement when asked about AAP leader Manish Sisodia’s claim that Union minister Anurag Thakur will replace Jai Ram Thakur as the state CM.
Nadda said Thakur is doing work and he will continue with it in future. He will not be replaced and the BJP will contest the Assembly elections under his leadership, he added. To another question, Nadda said none of the state ministers will be changed. He, however, said 10 to 15 per cent of sitting BJP MLAs may not get ticket in the elections. Ten to 15 per cent BJP MLAs did not get ticket in the UP Assembly elections and it is likely to happen here too, he added.
