When Twitterati ridiculed Rahul Gandhi for carrying cheat sheet in LS

Had the Congress not agreed, the government would have sprung a debate on the IPL, which the rest of the Opposition would have accepted. All leaders use Parliamentary debates to score a political point over rivals. Though it is not the first time that Rahul Gandhi has been caught with such things but recently too, he was captured sleeping in the Parliament!

Prompted by Jaitley, Swaraj said her daughter had appeared with her seniors in the case. No court had declared Modi a fugitive by then.

Chidambaram wrote personal letters to UK Chancellor of Exchequer and requested him to deport Lalit Modi but never moved an application for extradition, she said.

“Sushma does not do anything in stealth”. She recalled alleged favours from Rajiv Gandhi to Quattrocchi, Warren Anderson and Adil Shahryar that allowed them to escape from clutches of law enforcing agencies. The BJP said it held up Parliament only because the UPA government refused to act on the spectrum and coal scams, not explaining how that was different from the Congress’s obstruction of Parliament also on the issue of corruption. Sushma’s family has been close to me. “Why the quid pro quo?”

She also asked AICC Vice President Rahul Gandhi to find time and read the history of his family.

Sushma’s onslaught left many Congress members looking shell-shocked.

After facing so much insult, the best what Rahul Gandhi can do is to be quiet. You are asking me how he (Lalit Modi) got right of residency (in UK). “You still have the credibility”, he said.

Jaitley said an FIR was registered against Lalit Modi under the PMLA in 2012 but the case did not take off and the the former Indian Premier League chief became liable for arrest only after concrete steps were taken by the Narendra Modi government.

Rahul sought to bring the focus back on the Lalit scandal.

“Why didn’t you tell this to your ministry. Did you tell the PM?” 15 lakh black money would go into every bank account. “He has failed in both”, he said, adding that Lalit Modi was the symbol of black money.

The house faced several adjournments before the chair called it a day. Gandhiji had three monkeys. That in turn raises the cost of their products, making them less competitive compared with cheaper imports from China and other, similar low-cost locations. Modiji has modified this: “He doesn’t see the truth, doesn’t speak the truth, doesn’t listen to the truth”. Responding on behalf of the government, finance minister Arun Jaitley made a scathing attack, “The difficulty with Rahul Gandhi is that he is an expert without knowledge”.
