Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday kept public focus on viral video clips of Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar’s son Devendra Singh Tomar “discussing transactions” worth hundreds of crores of rupees with an alleged middleman. He wanted to know when the ED, CBI and IT would be investigating the matter. He was speaking at an election rally in Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh. Mr. Tomar has spoken out about the allegations and called it a “conspiracy”.
Union Minister Mr. Narendra Singh Tomar termed the episode a “well-planned conspiracy” by the Opposition in a post on X.
He said, “Today a fake video related to my son has gone viral on social media. This is part of a well-planned conspiracy by the opposition close to the elections with the aim of misleading the public.”
