I stand firmly with BJP: Rao Inderjit junks rebellion rumours

Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh Sunday junked reports of a rebellion against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by him and asserted that he stands firmly with his party.
“Some media channels are running baseless news in which I am being shown as a rebel along with nine MLAs,” Singh wrote in a post on X in Hindi.
“All this is baseless and unfounded news. I and all my fellow MLAs (from the Ahirwal region) stand firmly with the Bharatiya Janata Party,” the Union minister of state said.
