New Delhi, (the states. news)
Union Finance Minister Sitharaman on Saturday hit out at
Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, saying the party was
involved in twin tendencies of creating fake narratives and heaping baseless
allegations against the government.
In her reply to the discussion on general budget 2021-22 in the Lok Sabha, she
chose to give point by point rebuttal to the charges levelled by Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi in the House on Thursday. “What role does he want to play?
He is constantly insulting constitutionally elected heads of institutions be it
the Speaker or former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh,’ she said charging Mr
Gandhi of demeaning India, insulting institutions and joining breaking India
fringe groups.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh were present in
the House as Ms. Sitharaman’s took a dig against Congress in response to Mr
Gandhi’s charge that the Modi government was encouraging crony-capitalism and
the country was ruled by four people. “We don’t give lands to damaads
(son-in-laws), our cronies are common people who have reposed faith in Prime
Minister Modi,’ she said amid thumping of desks by members of treasury benches.
