BJP takes swipe at ‘CID probe’ into missing samosas meant for CM Sukhu
Even as the state government and the CID deny any probe into the vanishing of samosas, a storm is brewing, with the opposition BJP mocking the alleged CID probe.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday wished veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi on his birthday and credited him for leaving a “strong mark” on the education sector with his “great work”.
“Birthday greetings to our senior leader Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi. He has made a significant contribution in building the BJP,” tweeted Modi.
“He left a strong mark on our education sector with his great work. May he be blessed with a long and healthy life,” he said.

Born on January 5, 1934, Joshi was the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) between 1991 and 1993, and at present is a Lok Sabha member from Kanpur.
Joshi was awarded Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award, in 2017 by the Government of India.
Joshi along with party veterans Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani were dropped from the party’s Parliamentary Board and made a part of the Margdarshak Mandal after Amit Shah became the BJP chief in 2014.
