Bantwal, Dec 30: "I have lots of respect for B Janardhan Poojary who is a senior leader of Congress party. I have not spoken anything ill about him," said minister B Ramanath Rai.
Rai was speaking at the Congress office at B C Road on Friday, December 29.
"I have high regards for Poojary. I have met and spoken to him at a function a few days ago. I have not spoken anything against him. Some vested interests are trying to mislead him," Rai added.
"Where is the video in which I have abused Poojary? I have not used any words against him. If he has misunderstood me, let the God decide. These are tactics to create differences between me and Poojary," he said.
