Mumbai::
The BJP has issued a revised statement on behalf of Nitin Gadkari on Income Tax department's inquiry into a business empire he helped found. A statement sent on his behalf described the inquiry as a " highly questionable move by the IT department" and said "Coming as it does on the eve of his re-election as BJP President for a second term, the IT department's action smacks of the ruling UPA's nefarious designs to create confusion in the BJP ranks." Within minutes, an updated statement, dropping the reference to his re-election, was issued.
