Ms. Soundararajan, in a post on X, said, “Yesterday, as I met our Honourable Home Minister Sri Amit Shah ji in A.P. for the first time after the 2024 Election. He called me to ask about the post-poll follow-up and the challenges faced. As I was elaborating, due to paucity of time, with utmost concern, he advised me to carry out the political and constituency work intensively, which was reassuring. This is to clarify all unwarranted speculations around.”

The manner in which the conversation took place had triggered speculation with a section interpreting that Mr Shah had admonished the former Governor.
