‘Never supported all his work, shared stage for just 15 mins’: Says Manohar Lal Khattar on meeting Elvish Yadav in Gurugram event
Following an ongoing investigation into a rave party, Elvish Yadav found himself in judicial custody for 14 days after being remanded by the Noida Police on Sunday, March 17.
After winning Bigg Boss OTT 2, Elvish Yadav was seen sharing the stage with former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar in Gurugram on August 21, 2023. Speculations have since arisen regarding Elvish’s purported support from the former Haryana CM.
However, in a recent interview with Lallantop’s Saurabh Dwivedi, Manohar Lal Khattar disclosed the truth behind the incident. Previously, the former Haryana CM had remarked, “If Elvish progresses, the country will progress.” Responding to this, when the Dwivedi countered with allegations against Elvish, suggesting Khattar was blessing him, Khattar clarified, “I don’t have any prior acquaintance with Elvish. I was informed about him by others, and I accepted that at face value because you can’t immediately know if there is another side to a person or what their background is.”
Khattar further explained that he was informed about Elvish Yadav’s willingness to participate in the drug-free campaign, prompting him to commend the YouTuber for his work in this regard and express his support if Elvish Yadav was willing to engage in the campaign.
“We shared the stage for only 15 minutes. Now that this case has surfaced, I have no interest in the background. Whatever is being said, if true, is wrong. Therefore, I have never supported all of his actions, and will not do it in future as well,” Khattar said. Khattar also mentioned that he has been working on drug-free society for quite sometime. “I conducted a Cyclothon in Haryana as part of the anti-drug campaign and over a lakh people participated,” he said. The former CM added that he was given a short brief about Elvish Yadav backstage during the event that the YouTuber has been doing the same on educating the youth to stay away from the use drugs.
