talking to YearSule said, “I am ready to answer his (Sudhanshu Trivedi) 5 questions, wherever he wants. The time of his choice, the place of his choice and the platform of his choice. I am ready to answer them as all the allegations are completely false.”

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Trivedi said, “We want to ask 5 questions to the Congress party, one, are you involved in Bitcoin transactions? Second, are you in touch with this person named Gaurav Gupta or Mehta? Third, are the chats yours (your leaders’) or not? Fourth, is the audio in the audio clip yours or not? Fifth, who are the ‘big guys’?”

A deliberate attempt was made to create controversy, an ecosystem was used. As far as the allegations against Supriya Sule and Nana Patole are concerned, the way a former IPS officer has made the allegations and released some clips, I think it is a very serious matter. I would only like to say that this matter should be investigated seriously. It is necessary for the truth to come out. ,

If a doctor raises his voice, it can be understood through AI…We hope it will be understood as soon as possible because I do not consider it an election related matter, it is related to national security. It is a matter.
