According to reports published by IANS, “in an audio clip, a local journalist who identified himself as Yogesh Soni called up Dhurve to discuss the matter and plead that the school commences this session.”
Dhurve had come to discuss the construction of a building for a proposed Kendriya Vidyalaya in Betul district. Expressing annoyance, she said “the Prime Minister says to connect with the people, public money will be spent, not from the Prime Minister’s fund. He got married but didn’t set up his household.”
However, she could not be contacted to confirm or deny it.
The BJP chief spokesman Deepak Vijayvargiya told IANS that all she said in this clip that she had never spoken anything like this and only talked about development.
