Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha member Anurag Thakur, also anoffice-bearer of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, is exasperated with the Virbhadra Singh-led Congress government in Himachal Pradesh. The government of the hill state has said it is unable to provide security to the Pakistan cricket team that was scheduled to play against India in the coming T20 World Cup at the cricket stadium in Dharamsala. The BJP believes the state government has resorted to "cheap politics" because the chief minister doesn't want Thakur to get the credit for organising the match. A senior BJP leader said this exposed the hypocrisy of the Congress government: Just last month, the Congress government in Assam hosted the South Asian Games, in which around 100 sportspersons and officials from Pakistan participated. Many in the BJP see Thakur as a future chief minister of Himachal Pradesh.
