Anil Sharma, who was supposed to attend the Bhambla event, gave it a miss and conveyed to the party that he could not campaign against his son. Anil Sharma, 62, took the poll plunge in 1993 assembly elections after his father Sukh Ram was elected to the Lok Sabha. Meanwhile, a section of BJP leaders has been persuading the chief minister and the state party chief to take action against Anil Sharma. The chief minister had earlier gone on record saying Anil Sharma would be dropped from the ministry if he campaigned for his son. “Now it’s for the chief minister to take a final call on his cabinet colleague,” said Satti.
