Hitting out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of guiding people to loot the country, Union Minister of State for Finance Shiv Pratap Shukla on Thursday said the grand-old party was a Government full of scams.
Talking to media persons here on Thursday, Shukla said, “This scam is happening from 2011, and we were not in Government that time. If Congress is making allegations, were they sleeping from 2011-14IJ They should have probed it.
The current Government is taking cognizance of matters and probing them. Congress was a Government of scams and they established these scamsters.”
His remark comes after the Congress chief on Thursday slammed jewelleries designer Nirav Modi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and released a guide to ‘looting’ the country.
Rahul Gandhi in a sarcastic tweet took out a "guide to looting India" by Nirav Modi and stated a few pointers in doing so. “Hug PM Modi, Be seen with him in Davos," tweeted Gandhi. He added that the same clout is used to steal Rs. 12,000 crore.
"Slip out of the country like (Vijay) Mallya, while the Government looks the other way," Gandhi said.
