BJP's Amit Malviya said that reports saying Atal Bihari Vajpayee referred to Indira Gandhi as ‘Durga’ are false and that Vajpayee himself clarified it in an interview. Malviya shared a video in which Vajpayee can be seen saying, "I never called her Durga, I debunked it multiple times....It was printed by media under my name, but I never said it."
