Dehradun,September 24

Tweets from a fake twitter account of former Chief Minister and Pauri Garhwal MP BC Khanduri allegedly conveying his dismay with the present day politics has created a storm in the BJP political circles.

Though today morning the Dehradun Police registered a case under the IT Act , after his daughter Ritu Khanduri, an MLA from Yamkeshwar, lodged a complaint, his tweets have given rise to speculations the former Chief Minister is feeling left out in the hurly burly of politics.

In one of the tweets Khanduri has compared politics with Hindi films as though expressing his dismay with the present political scenario and his own position in the BJP.

In another tweet he is allegedly seen conveying that the party may or may not give him respect but he was more than satisfied with the love and affection that the people of the state continue to shower on him. In one of the tweets there is also a mention about his mentor and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his immense respect for him.

Significantly, during the two-day visit of BJP president Amit Shah, Khanduri continued to maintain a low key presence.

Earlier, BC Khanduri, in a statement, had said that he did not maintain any twitter account.
