NEW DELHI: Congress chief spokesman Jairam Ramesh on Monday denied a report in the Indian Express claiming it as “bogus and totally false” that former Congress President Rahul Gandhi seeking support of AIADMK leader E Palaniswamy, seeing his support for Opposition presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha.
Sensing that such a report will damage the tie-up of the Congress with the DMK which may fight the next election in alliance, Jairam tweeted: “This is wholly bogus and totally false. No such phone call was made by Rahul,” he said.
“The DMK-Congress alliance is firm and steadfast enough to withstand such crude and mischievous efforts to sow confusion and weaken it,” Jairam added.
