BJP has not distanced itself from Rahul incident: Munde

MUMBAI: BJP leader Gopinath Munde on Saturday said he does not feel BJP has distanced itself from Rahul Mahajan, who has been hospitalised in Delhi under controversial circumstances.

BJP president, vice president and other senior leaders had visited Apollo hospital to enquire about Rahul's condition, he told reporters. "Several BJP leaders have spoken to me seeking information about Rahul's condition," he added.

Munde, who is Rahul's uncle, denied reports that Rahul had consumed drugs. "The quantity of cocaine shown in the medical tests was within permissible limits which can be found in any human being," he said.
