New Delhi: After Union Minister Jayanthi Natarajan resigned from the primary membership of the party questioning the democratic nature of Congress, senior leader Digvijaya Singh speaking in defence of Rahul Gandhi denied all the allegations made by her.
"It is absolutly wrong that Sonia or Rahul interfered in the functioning of the government. Modi had made allegations about a 'Jayanti Tax'. Rahul Gandhi would have become a minister if he wanted to involve himself with a ministry," Singh said.
In a strong worded letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi followed by a press conference in Chennai, Jayanthi said that she was pained by the treatment meted out to her by the party.
Natarajan also accused Rahul Gandhi's office of planting stories to sully her reputation after her resignation as Environment Minister in UPA-II.
