Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has strongly refuted claims by Union Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and BJP MP Bijoya Chakraborty that the state government has hatched a 'conspiracy' to disallow Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh from visiting the flood-affected areas of Goalpara district today.
"There is no iota of truth that the state government has not accorded permission to the Union Home Minister to visit the flood-hit areas of Goalpara district," Gogoi said in a statement.
The union home ministry has chalked out the itinerary of Rajnath Singh and Assam government has nothing to do with it.
"The statements made by them are false, baseless and politically motivated, aimed at misleading the people of the state," he asserted.
Singh reached here in the morning and is scheduled to return today after visiting Goalpara.
