In an embarrassment to the BJP state unit, its information technology cell has uploaded the picture of a senior Congress leader in place of a photograph of a party leader on the official website.

The website of the BJP state unit had uploaded a news item regarding the Minister for Forest and Environment Choudhary Lal Singh but the picture carried was that of senior Congress leader and former minister R S Chib in which he was addressing a group of women.

The text of the news says Singh today interacted with a gathering in Katra town of Reasi district after inspecting a forest nursery.

It says Singh took a serious note of the recent incidents of forest fire in the Trikuta hills of Vaishno Devi shrine and asked the officials concerned to take adequate measures to combat forest fire.
