When asked who will be the BJP's chief ministerial candidate, the Union Minister for Water Resources and Ganga Rejuvenation, yesterday said, only party organisation will decide over the matter.
Over a complaint made to National Green Tribunal about the river front scheme, she said, "I do not take otherwise, if the matter has been taken to NGT since it provides scope for correction."
NGT was apprised of the process before commencing the river front scheme in Vrindaban, she said at Anupyati Geeta Ashram in Vrindaban.
"Before commencing the work, instruction were issued for retaining thesanctity and originality of theold Ghats as per orders of the High court," the union minister said.
She claimed that there was no politics in surgical strikes.
"Whole country was happy after surgical strike, since it was a right step away from politics," Bharti said.
