Nitin Gadkari reacts to Rahul Gandhi's 'RSS placing own people' remark

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has alleged that the RSS-BJP are placing their own people in key parts of the institutional structure of the country and even ministers have to work with RSS people to make decisions in their respective ministries.

Responding to Gandhi's remarks, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari told Aaj Tak TV channel his allegations are laughable and there is no RSS person in the ministries with which the ministers work.

On Saturday, Gandhi undertook a journey on a motorcycle to Pangong Tso Lake in Ladakh.

Photographs of Gandhi, wearing biking gear, along with a few others on motorcycles heading for the lake, were released by the party on its official social media handles.

"On our way to Pangong Lake, which my father used to say, is one of the most beautiful places in the world," Gandhi said on Instagram with a picture of him on the motorcycle.

Gandhi is on a visit to the Union Territory of Ladakh and is expected to return next week.
