Sitaram Yechury says he did not meet President with YSR Congress delegation

NEW DELHI: CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury tonight rubbished reports that he had met President Pranab Mukherjee with a YSR Congress delegation.

Terming the reports as "completely fabricated", Yechury said, "There is no question of my going to meet the honourable President at all."

The reports had said he had accompanied a YSR Congress delegation led by its honorary president YS Vijayamma to meet the President.
