Piyush Goyal hits back at Rahul Gandhi with ‘naamdaar’ jibe

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Union minister Piyush Goyal after accusing him of being involved in the Rs 48 crore Flashnet scam, which he said is about “deceit, conflict of interest and greed”.

Rahul, who attacked the railway minister on Twitter, also put a picture along with his tweet, alleging that Goyal sold his stock of Flashnet Info Solutions to Piramal group, which has interests in the power sector, at 1,000 times the face value. He has alleged that this happened when Goyal was the minister of state for power.

Goyal, in return, retaliated to these charge in two tweets. One in which he attacked Congress leader P Chidambaram and his son Karti, and the other in which Rahul Gandhi was the target.

Earlier on Tuesday, PM Narendra Modi while addressing a rally in Karnataka’s Chamarajanagar had attacked Rahul and the Congress over what the BJP calls dynastic politics. Modi said, ” Rahul Ji, you are naamdaar (one with a name), we are kaamdaar (One who works).
