Saini as CM face: Inderjit feels indignation

Hisar: Bharatiya Janata Party’s senior member Rao Inderjit Singh has put an end to speculations about being in race for Haryana’s chief minister by making it clear on Saturday that Nayab Singh Saini will remain BJP’s CM face as declared by Union home minister Amit Shah in Panchkula recently.
The veteral Ahir leader said at an event of the district bar association on Saturday that it was the BJP high command’s decision to pick Saini again to lead this October’s assembly election campaign but there was an “indignation” in not considering him for even a Union minister even though he was the oldest minister of state to hold that office twice.
His father, former chief minister Rao Birender Singh, was Haryana’s first six-time MP, while Inderjit has made it to the third central cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Inderjit, who was annoyed with the party when it picked Saini as CM face, accepted that there was infighting in the BJP “as normal for any political group”. He said: “I was in the Congress for 34 years, where I saw a similar factionalism. The BJP is new in Haryana and its factions will emerge with time.”
