Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday clarified that YouTuber Elvish Yadav had been invited to the CM house as he was a celebrity and there were no allegations against him, reported news agency ANI.

"Whenever there are Ganesh Utsav celebrations at the Chief Minister's house, celebrities go there. At that time Elvish Yadav had won some reality show, which is why he must have been invited there. There were no allegations against him at the time, it is wrong to drag the CM into this, if someone has committed a mistake then he should face punishment," Fadnavis said, reported ANI.
