Rahul Gandhi criticises Modi in tweet
“Dear Mr Jaitley thank you for reminding India that our PM never means what he says or says what he means. #BJPLies,†Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
New Delhi: Twelve days after Parliament’s Winter Session had begun, the impasse in the Rajya Sabha between the ruling BJP and the Congress was finally broken on Wednesday after a statement by finance minister Arun Jaitley, in which he said “the Prime Minister, in his statements or speeches, did not question the commitment to this nation either by Dr Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister, or Mr Hamid Ansari, former vice-president”.
Leader of the opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad made a statement, saying: “ I want to thank the leader of the House that he issued a clarification on the issue which was causing the deadlock for the last one week. If during the elections (recent Assembly polls in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh), any member of our party gave such a statement that was against the stature of the PM, then our party dissociates itself from any such statement and we would not want any word to be said against the stature of the Prime Minister.”
“Dear Mr Jaitley — thank you for reminding India that our PM never means what he says or says what he means. #BJPLies,” Congress president Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
