Former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday refused to accept the Padma Bhushan that was conferred on him by the Central Government on Tuesday. CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury quoted Bhattacharjee as saying, "I don't know anything about Padma Bhushan award, no one has said anything about it. If I've been given Padma Bhushan I refuse to accept it."
