CPN Singh, who was a known key aide and confidante of Sanjay Gandhi, was removed from his position because of Alva's allegations then.

Moreover, Alva in her autobiography has alleged that she was being targeted by CPN Singh as she was about to blow the lid off his connections with Michel.

Congress in denial

However, Congress has dubbed the revelations coming out in veteran Congress leader Margaret Alva's book as 'tools' used to market her book, wondering why enlightenment dawned on her after decades of long political career.
