Leader of Opposition in Himachal Pradesh Jairam Thakur hosted a samosa party for BJP leaders and workers in Mandi on Friday after the controversy over the snack surrounding Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu took center stage in the state.
The bizarre row erupted after three boxes of samosas and cakes that were brought from Hotel Radisson Blue and were meant to be served to CM Sukhu at the CID headquarters for a function on October 21, went missing and were served to the CM security staff instead. A CID probe was ordered into the incident, drawing the BJP’s reaction which dubbed the Congress government as a “laughing stock”.

“Bahot swadisht hai bhai (It’s very delicious),” Thakur is heard saying to the attendees of the party.
