"Since the day he (Bittu) became MP, he has created factionalism along with Bharat Bhushan Ashu, saying that I am Manish Tewari's man," he said. "I even went to meet him, but he did not listen and tried speaking to the party high command. And they only see the picture that is being shown to them. Bittu is now busy promoting his relatives and Ashu," he alleged. TNS
