He told the media that he is not availing the stay and dinner arrangement made available for him at Hotel De-Polo in Sheela, Dharamshala for a period from 8th of this month to 14th. He said that he has informed the administration and the state government about his decision. He said, “Immediately after knowing about that a room has been booked for me in Hotel D Polo, I have informed the authorities that I am not using it.” He said that he has taken this decision keeping in mind the economic burden on the government.
