Dear CM
You have taken a right decision. No need to bow down to him . He don't know how to talk in a podium. Talking like bewda. i saw many clips where he is talking like a king. I think he don't know what is he talking. After getting a cabinet ministry, what was his contribution to the soceity?? ZERO - So better to keep him away from the party.
