New Delhi: Despite Union minister Nitin Gadkari’s denial of any bugging done at his house, the Opposition kept targeting the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, with Congress comparing the alleged incident with the Gujarat Snoopgate controversy.
While the Congress reiterated its demand of clarification on the issue by the ruling BJP and the Prime Minister, Union home minister Rajnath Singh and his deputy Kiren Rijiju declined to wade into the controversy, saying Mr Gadkari had clarified that these reports were highly speculative. Mr Gadkari insisted that no snooping devices were found anywhere at his residence.
Taking a dig at the BJP, Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil said, “This used to happen in Gujarat... Now the days of snooping have come even in Delhi. It seems its architects have come here as well.”
