Putting all the members of the ruling Gandhi family on the docket, the Union minister said the family had “never shied away from compromising with the country”.“You have seen how Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi used extra-constitutional powers even during Manmohan Singh’s government. Sometimes, they even tear up cabinet decisions in front of the press. By disrespecting the Prime Minister, running the government through the National Advisory Council, imposing leftist ideology on the country? Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi used to run a parallel cabinet and compromise the country,” said Goyal. He went further back to attack the Nehru-Gandhi family by highlighting the infamous Bofors scandal which was widely reported during Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure and led to the fall of his government.“Not only Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi did not compromise with the country…Rajiv Gandhi also never shied away from compromising with the country. We all know how, at the behest of Rahul Gandhi, the foreign minister tried to stop the Bofors scam investigation by telling the Swedish authorities. We all know how, to protect his friend Ottavio Cahone, what role was played in the investigation is not known. Congress and Rajiv Gandhi played Bofors...

You cannot even ask Rahul Gandhi an uncomfortable question without being tagged as a BJP-affiliated press person. He only wants curated press conferences.

They are completely jeopardizing the interests of the countrymen,” alleged Goyal.Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday made serious allegations against Prime Minister Modi, claiming that the Prime Minister had negotiated a trade deal with the US for the benefit of his minister Hardeep Puri and industrialist Gautam Adani, whom Rahul called the “financial structure of the BJP”.
