‘Gadkari a cheap politician’
Our Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, April 7: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today dared BJP president Nitin Gadkari to substantiate with evidence the corruption allegations brought against him by the latter. Taking exception to charges of corruption levelled against him by Gadkari, Gogoi said: “If Gadkari levelled the corruption charges against me on being provoked by Assam BJP president Ranjit Dutta or others, it is certain that he is a cheap politician.”

Talking to newsmen here today, Gogoi said: “I have decided to write to Gadkari to furnish proof of his charges, because such criticism has never been levelled against me by any BJP leaders most of whom have cordial relationship with me at personnel level even though we have political rivalry. His allegations against me have no basis.”
