New Delhi, Oct 18: Congress today dismissed as a “storm in the teacup” the controversy surrounding the unfructified meeting of the sarpanch of Anna Hazare’s village with Rahul Gandhi and insisted that no such appointment was fixed and Gandhi had no clue about it.
“The fact is that no meeting was called for. There appeared to be some genuine confusion. Kerala MP P T Thomas categorically denied that any appointment was decided. It is unnecessarily making a storm in the teacup,” party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary told reporters here.
Asked why Gandhi did not meet the delegation from Ralegan Siddhi village, Chowdhary said “these things are being said after assuming that Gandhi was sitting in his home leisurely and did not meet them but a leader like him could be having many pre-fixed engagements”.
