"He was my worker earlier, never my Private secretary": Swami Prasad Maurya
Earlier, there was information that Arman was the Swami Prasad Maurya's Private Secretary, refuting which the BJP-turned- Samajwadi Party leader said, "He was never my Private Secretary. Highlighting the news by associating him with me is somewhat a sign of a polluted mind." The leader political leader said, "From the constituency, which I represented- Janpad Kushinagar- he was my worker there. How there are many workers in a constituency, he was also a worker, "
"I don't have any information on the development. I got to know about it from the news channels.
