PANAJI: Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane refuted allegations hurled by the Congress and accused the Opposition party of doctoring audios to create miscommunication between him, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and his party leadership.
Congress Spokesperson on Sunday has alleged that there may be more videos in which Health Minister allegedly speaks critically about the Chief Minister and conspires to oust him.
