The minister’s chairman is a very strong leader.
Through all these speculations and rumors, they try to create political instability,” he added.

I am not talking about rumors and speculations made by several ministers and legislators.” The minister’s chairman met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister of Keoan Home Amit Shah and National President of BJP JP Nadda on Saturday.
