Nagpur:
Senior RSS leader MG Vaidya on Wednesday termed as "frivolous" the allegations levelled by Arvind Kejriwal against BJP President Nitin Gadkari.
"I have seen the entire telecast where Kejriwal leveled allegations against Gadkari that he grabbed the land of poor farmers, but found them frivolous," said Mr Vaidya, a former RSS spokesperson.
A piece of land in question, belonging to farmer Chandrashekar Ghadge, had been leased out to Gadkari's firm and not sold as alleged in Mr Kejriwal's press conference, Mr Vaidya said.
Former Maharashtra Irrigation Minister Ajit Pawar should be asked why he preferred or favoured Gadkari (his firm) over other applicants (if any) in allocating the surplus land acquired by the government for a dam, he said.
"It seems...Kejriwal group was trying to paint a picture that their (newly-founded) party is better compared to both Congress and BJP," Mr Vaidya said.
