liquor baron Vijay Mallya’s escape to london triggered major political slugfest on Thursday with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi accusing the Government of helping Mallya run away and Finance Minister Jaitley raking up Bofors middleman Quattrocchi’s escape during the Congress rule.
“We simply asked that someone who stole Rs 9,000 crore — how did he run away from the countryIJ We neither got a reply to this from Modiji nor from Jaitleyji,” Rahul told reporters.
Jaitely said, “Rahul ji should remember that there is a basic difference in Mallya leaving (the country) and Quattrochi going out (of India). And let me explain him the difference.”
