Recently Madan Kaushik, the ex-state minister has been promoted to State President of BJP. In his first visit to Bageswar after taking over as Stat president, Kaushik was given a guard of honour by state police. Sources say, when the matter of gross violation of protocol was brought to the notice of senior police officers, a simple answer forwarded that this has happened due to some misunderstanding.
