Rajnath Singh has a clean political record. But when there was a controversy regarding his son and it became public, the connection was traced to the PMO. The south Indian journalist who flashed this news first on his website is considered to be number two to PMO’s P K Mishra. This south Indian journalist put up the news related to Pankaj Singh and also deleted within three hours, but by then the news had gone viral. A news channel said to be close to the BJP also aired this news prominently. The PMO may have trashed the story later, but by then the Thakur politician’s clean image had gone for a toss.
