"I am a bhakt of the BJP; situations may change but I will continue to work for the party," Anil Vij told reporters today.
Day after skipping new Chief Minister Nayab Saini's swearing-in ceremony, senior BJP leader Anil Vij clarified that he was still with the party. "I am a bhakt of the BJP; situations may change but I will continue to work for the party," Mr Vij told reporters outside the Haryana assembly.
Mr Vij had created waves among Haryana's political circles when he walked out in a huff of the BJP legislature party meeting where Mr Saini was elected as the leader. Nayab Saini was appointed as the Haryana Chief Minister after Manohar Lal Khattar resigned along with his cabinet.
Mr Vij was upset as the party ignored him and decided to elevate Mr Saini. In 2014 too, when Mr Vij was among the frontrunners for the post of chief minister after the BJP came to power on its own strength in Haryana, the party chose first-time MLA Khattar for the post.
