Bahubali CM and Vij
Haryana health minister Anil Vij has kept his boss and colleagues on the tenterhooks. They
don’t know what he might take offence to. When the Khattar government named Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra, who hails from Ambala, its brand ambassador for Beti BachaoBeti Padhao programme on Thursday, the health minis- ter threw a tantrum. “I do not have any information of anybody appointed Brand Ambassodar (ambassador) of my department for Beti Bachao programme [sic],” the minister tweeted within hours. While CM Manohar Lal Khattar welcomed the appointment, Vij told reporters that his department was working hard to save the girl child and did not need any actress. “In the Indian parliamentary system, the CM is a Bahubali and can do anything. But I am incharge of my department,” he insisted. What took the cake was the manner in which he uploaded clippings of media reports on his disagreement with Khattar on his Facebook and Twitter accounts.
