Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari today once again rubbished reports of bugging devices found inside his house.
"As already stated I reiterate that no devices were found at my residence anywhere," Gadkari.
Earlier he had tweeted, "Reports in a section of the media about listening devices having been found at my New Delhi residence are highly speculative."
Reportedly, listening devices were recovered on Sunday from Gadkari's residence over which former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh raised concern and had called for an investigation.
On Monday, Uttar Pradesh (UP) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Laxmikant Bajpai had also defended Gadkari, saying that when the latter had denied reports of bugging then the matter should be closed.
