He said that this was wastage of public funds as Rs 45 lakh had been incurred on them.
Though many leaders of State BJP, mainly Prem Kumar Dhumal led faction, discussed various organizational issues at this Chintan Baithak, but senior leaders, including national vice-president Shanta Kumar, national general secretary JP Nadda, state in charge Kalraj Mishra, co-in charge Shyam Jaju and few other were conspicuous by their absence. However state President Satpal Singh Satti attributed their absence to their official engagements elsewhere.
