Rajnath Singh denies allegations

Union Home Minister and former BJP president Rajnath Singh on Wednesday denied reports of his son Pankaj Singh being denied bypoll ticket due to corruption charges against him.

Rajnath Singh challenged the media reports which said he was upset over denial of his son’s ticket for the Noida bypoll.

Singh said the allegations against him and his family are false and he will quit politics if any allegations are found to be true.

Meanwhile Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a statement rejecting allegations against Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s son Pankaj Singh by saying the accusations are ‘plain lies’ and ‘motivated’.

The PMO tweet on Wednesday as saying, it was ‘malicious attempt at character assassination and tarnishing the image of the Government’.

“This has reference to reports appearing in a section of the media over the past several weeks, mentioning the Prime Minister, and referring to the conduct of some Union Ministers, and alleged misconduct of the Home Minister’s son. The reports are plain lies, motivated and constitute a malicious attempt at character assassination and tarnishing the image of the Government. Those indulging in such rumour-mongering are damaging the interest of the nation,” PMO’s offical statement said.
