After the BJP's Himachal Pradesh defeat, Union Minister Anurag Thakur has been blamed by many party workers for infighting and rebellion. His father and former Chief Minister PK Dhumal has reacted to the criticism for the first time. "He worked day in, day out," Mr Dhumal told NDTV, breaking his silence after massive trolling of his son on social media. The BJP lost all five seats in Anurag Thakur's Hamirpur district.
