Piyush Goyal said, “We have been witnessing the activities of a serial liar (Rahul Gandhi). I think only an issueless man can repeat a lie again and again because he doesn’t have any other issues.”
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday lashed out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi calling him a ‘serial liar’. Union Minister Piyush Goyal, while addressing a press conference in New Delhi, said that repeating a lie 100 times does not make it the truth.
“We have off late been experiencing the activities of a serial liar. Only an issue-less man can repeat a lie again and again. Even if a lie is repeated 100 times, it can never substitute the truth,” Goyal said. “Congress lied in Parliament too where Rahul Gandhi said he personally met French President and asked him about the secrecy of Rafale deal. It only shows the hollowness of knowledge that he does not know that secrecy pact was done in 2008 by then PM Manmohan Singh.
“The Government negotiated terms which are far better than what was agreed by UPA in 2007 & 2012. We have gotten faster delivery, longer maintenance tenure, better availability of spare parts and much-needed defence capabilities,” he further added. “He twisted a French media house’s report on Rafale, which the CEO of Dassault has himself said has been a blatant twisting of facts,” Goyal said.
Goyal was responding to Congress president’s allegations wherein he accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being a chowkidar of Anil Ambani’s Reliance. On Thursday, while addressing a press conference, Gandhi had cited a report by French news portal Mediapart, and targetted Prime Minister Modi, repeating his allegation that the latter put Rs 30,000 crore in Ambani’s pocket.
