"Virbhadra Singh cannot befool the people of state. Inauguration spree shows that CM is in a hurry," he added. Dhumal said BJP will form government post elections in the state. "I will reach upto BJP workers and general public in coming days to expose the corrupt deed of present state government and to motivate the workers," he added.
While welcoming Dhumal on Wednesday, former horticulture minister Narinder Bragta resorted to show of strength of his supporters.
