KARNAL: Sharpening his attack on his own party (BJP) and chief minister Nayab Singh Saini, state cabinet minister Anil Vij on Monday shared some pictures, claiming that "workers" seen with a "friend" of the CM were also seen with an Independent candidate whom he defeated in the state assembly polls last year.

Vij won the Ambala Cantt constituency defeating Independent candidate Chitra Sarwara and became an MLA for the seventh time.

In a post on X, Vij said, "Ashish Tayal, who calls himself a friend of Nayab Saini, has many pictures with Nayab Saini on Facebook. The same workers who are seen with Ashish Tayal during the (October) assembly elections are also seen with the BJP's rival candidate Chitra Sarwara." "Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai? (What is this relationship called?) Tayal is still Nayab Saini's best friend, so the question arises who made him oppose the BJP candidate?" Vij said in a post along with some pictures on X.
