Shimla, Feb. 3 -- Leader of opposition in the Himachal Pradesh assembly and former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur on Monday warned his BJP colleague and former minister Ramesh Dhawala against airing his views against the party in public.

"The BJP is a disciplined party. If any issue has to aired, it should be done on a party platform," Thakur said, responding to the growing resentment in the party's state unit after the leader from Dehra recently targeted the state unit leadership for ignoring "old leaders".

Thakur said, "If Dhawala has any complaint, he should speak up on a party platform and refrain raising issues publicly. Even though Dhawala lost the election, the previous government gave him respect and honour with a cabinet rank."...
