Cong rejects reports of Rahul calling EPS for Sinha
In a statement, AICC general secretary Communications Jairam Ramesh said the news report is “bogus and false” and is a “mischievous effort to sow confusion”.
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Sunday dismissed as ‘bogus’ a news report claiming that Rahul Gandhi called up AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami seeking support for the combined opposition Presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha.
In a statement, AICC general secretary Communications Jairam Ramesh said the news report is “bogus and false” and is a “mischievous effort to sow confusion”.
“This is wholly bogus and totally false. No such phone call was made. The DMK-Congress alliance is firm and steadfast enough to withstand such crude and mischievous efforts to sow confusion and weaken it,” Ramesh said in a statement.
The Congress and DMK are supporting their joint candidate Sinha for the July 18 Presidential election.
