Punjab BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia today asked senior party leader Shanta Kumar why he had not raised his voice on the appointment of chief parliamentary secretaries when he was the state BJP in-charge.
Stressing that Kumar was the BJP state-in-charge when the SAD-BJP alliance was formed government in the state, Kalia asked why Kumar did not oppose the appointments if they were wrong.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had recently quashed the appointment of 18 CPS by the Prakash Singh Badal government in April 2012, terming it "unconstitutional".
Kumar had recently written an article in a vernacular daily criticising the appointments of CPS.
Kalia alleged that between 1990 and 1992, Kumar, as Himachal Pradesh chief minister, had appointed CPS apart from 12 ministers.
