'Amusing': Gadkari on Rahul Gandhi's 'RSS people in ministries' claim

New Delhi: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari dismissed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s claims the RSS-BJP have strategically placed their own members within critical segments of India’s institutional framework.

In an interview with TV channel Aj Tak, Gadkari said Gandhi’s allegations were amusing.

He clarified that there are no RSS-affiliated individuals in the ministries who influence ministerial operations.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while interacting with the youth in Ladakh’s capital Leh further accused ministers are compelled to work on the directions of RSS to make decisions.

During the event, he asserted that the BJP-RSS alliance is strategically placing their own members in pivotal roles within the institutional structure.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Gandhi embarked on a motorcycle journey to Pangong Tso Lake in Ladakh.

Pictures of Gandhi dressed in biking attire, riding alongside a few others on motorcycles en route to the lake, were shared by the party on its official social media platforms.
