BJP leader Harak Singh Rawat, who was expelled from the Uttarakhand cabinet, broke down on camera on Monday as he accused the ruling party of removing him without even speaking to him.

"They (BJP) didn't talk to me once before taking such a big decision. If I hadn't left Congress to join BJP, I would have resigned from the BJP four years ago. I don't have much interest in being a minister, I just wanted to work," he told news agency ANI.
