New Delhi: Political strategist and former JD(U) vice president Prashant Kishor on Sunday denied having travelled to Kolkata recently after reports emerged that he took a cargo flight to help Mamata Banerjee contain COVID-19 situation in her state.
While talking to ETV Bharat, he said: "All these baseless allegations are unnecessarily being thrown at me. I didn't go to Kolkata at all, neither did I violate any of the lockdown measures. I urge the central govt to investigate the matter and find out the truth".
