Responding to all this, BJP State President Vishnu Dutt Sharma said that Congress had not presented an affidavit but a letter of deceit, fraud, lies, and deception. Addressing Kamal Nath as Corruption Nath, Vishnu Dutt Sharma said that when there is a tussle between Corruption Nath and Mr. Bantadhar and a fight is going on between them, then this affidavit has become just a formality.
