Anita was noticed speaking to the minister on Saturday while sitting next to him at the Kanaka Jayanti programme.
"It was a mere exchange of courtesies. There was nothing political in what we discussed. The media should not deem it to be a JD(S)-Congress pact and publish it. There are no such plans at the moment," she categorically state.
