Former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has denied accepting the Padma Bhushan award, minutes after an official announcement confirming India's third-highest civilian honour to him. "I know nothing about this award. No one has told me anything about it. If they have decided to offer Padma Bhushan to me, I refuse to accept it," Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said.
