Butail was regarded as one of the masterminds in the state congress who gave new dimensions to the development of district Kangra. He was regarded as one of the arch rivals of his own Chief Minister Yashwant Singh Parmar whom he alleged of discrimination for the merged areas of state. He was offered Cabinet rank by Dr. Parmar but he refused to accept it. Butail was also said to have cordial relations with the central leaders of the INC like Indira Gandhi.[2]

Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel visited his house on many times owing to the closeness to his Uncle Kanhiya Lal Butail.

Butail managed and ran two big charitable trusts, Lala Gorimal Butail Trust and Bundla Tea Estate trust, which donated prime lands of Palampur, Pragpur and Shimla to hospitals, schools and temples. Butail was instrumental in donating about 20000 square metres of prime land in Palampur to set up DAV Public School at Palampur, which today is one of the leading schools in the district.
