Senior BJP leader and party's in-charge for Haryana affairs, Anil Jain, asserted that there were "no differences" between Vij and Khattar.
When asked about Anil Vij's recent tweets indicating that he was being sidelined, Jain said there was no such thing.
When specifically asked that Vij in one of his tweets had mentioned that he was not in politics to push the cart of the Congress party, implying that there was no difference in the policies of the previous Congress government and the ones being pursued by the present BJP government in the state, Jain said, "you (media) have read too much into this..".
"I talked to Chief Minister Khattar and Vij also, there are no differences between them. Vij was present in today's meeting for 3-4 hours. The atmosphere was friendly and cordial," Jain said.
Besides Khattar and Vij, most of the Ministers and MLAs took part in today's legislature party meet here, which was held at the Chief Minister's residence.
BJP formed government on its own in Haryana for the first time after the October 2014 assembly polls.
Vij, a five-time MLA and a popular face of the party in the state, was front runner for the chief minister's post.
