“I have not spoken stealthily in a room. I made those remarks in a public meeting with responsibility. The remark was to just say that I have aged. But, thousands of meanings could be made out of it. There is no need to give it a twist or different meaning,” he reiterated. Raju Kage represents the Kagwad constituency in Belagavi district.
