Power Play: Cong's Abhay Dubey defends Gehlot's controversial remark

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Wednesday suggested that the NDA picked Ram Nath Kovind over L K Advani as its nominee for the President's post because of his caste, prompting a sharp response from the BJP. Under flak, Gehlot later tweeted that he was ‘misquoted’ and said he has the greatest regard for President Kovind. At a press conference in Jaipur, Gehlot had linked Kovind's appointment as President to the Gujarat polls.
