The ministerial official responded that Gupta spoke in his own way in a press conference on Thursday.
Earlier, it was in the public audio that the middleman asked Minister Gupta to call the Minister of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation Balram Adhikari to appoint Khem Bahadur Pun as the Chairman of Land Commission Kaski.
In the audio, the middleman says, "Minister, don't tell Balram (Minister of Land Management) or I will explain it to Khem." Minister Gupta replies, "Balram has taken money from him, Balram doesn't." In this context, the minister official said, "The former minister has not even come to me." He must have asked us to move our staff. The former minister may have spoken of his own will. I haven't even come to you. This is not even said.'
Minister Adhikari claimed that he was dragged into the controversy to assassinate his character .
