In his Facebook blog, Jaitley ventured out to attack the Congress president of concocting falsehood on five counts and thereby living in self-delusion
Continuing his focused tirade against Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday wrote a scathing blog piece titled 'Is the 'Clown Prince' out-clowning himself' accusing him of "concocting" falsehood.
In his Facebook blog, Jaitley ventured out to attack the Congress president of concocting falsehood on five counts and thereby living in self-delusion.
Jaitley wondered if Gandhi has a personality issue where "he lies a dozen times and then in self-delusion believes it to be true or is it a case of a 'Clown Prince' out-clowning himself?"
On Gandhi's recent allegation made in a poll rally at Madhya Pradesh that he met multi-billion PNB fraud accused Nirav Modi in Parliament, Jaitley said, "I do not recollect ever having even seen Nirav Modi in my life. The question of his meeting me in Parliament does not arise. If he came to Parliament, as Rahul Gandhi claims, then reception records would show that. Where have I admitted all this Mr Gandhi?".
On allegations made by the Congress party president on Rafale, Jaitley said the aircraft and its weaponry is not being manufactured in India at all, neither by Dassault or by any other private company.
All 36 aircraft and weapons in a fully flyable and usable form will arrive, he said.
After the supplies begin, Dassault has to make purchases in India for 50 per cent of the contract value.
"This is as per UPA's policy to promote make in India. If the total deal is for Rs 58,000 crore, 50 per cent of that amounts to Rs 29,000 crore.
"These supplies to Dassault are to be made by over 120 offset suppliers and which the business house named is one of them. Dassault has said only 3% of offset may come to that business house which is less than Rs 1,000 crore," the minister said.
ON GST & WAIVERS..
Jaitley also rubbished charges on GST and non-performing assets and loan waivers. “Loans were given during the UPA period. Not a single Rupee has been waived,” the Finance Minister said.
