PM single-handedly destroyed six years of our work: Rahul Gandhi
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday rebutted Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Naga accord in the lower house, describing it “completely false and baseless”.

Acknowledging he was not “much aware”, Gandhi said, “I am not from the RSS, I make mistakes”.
Hitting back at his “fair and lovely scheme” jibe at the government, the BJP leader said no amount of “fair and lovely” comments will clean up the black deeds of Congress and called him a “non-serious, part-time” politician.
“No one will be arrested, no one will go to jail, no questions will be asked”, he said while speaking in the Lok Sabha in the debate on the motion of thanks to the President for his address to a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament.
“The Finance Minister told me that MGNREGA is the best scheme but I tell him that he should convey this to his boss (the PM)”, Gandhi said, on the UPA’s flagship scheme being allocated a sizable funds.
Mr. Gandhi also spoke about how Mr. Modi had run down the UPA’s flagship scheme, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MNREGA) programme but had increased allocations for it in the Budget.
In an article “How much does he know – when will he know” posted on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s website, Jaitley said Modi was a “hands-on” prime minister. All the benefits were being provided to some “big” industrialists.
Gandhi lashed out at the prime minister for not listening to anyone, including his External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. “The more I hear Shri Rahul Gandhi, the more I start wondering how much does he know – when will he know”, Jaitley said.
Responding to Gandhi’s charge that Modi hardly consulted senior ministers, Jaitley said he not only works hard and involves himself in the functioning of the various departments of the government but also inspires his team to work harder. He accused the PM of “single-handedly destroying” six years of UPA work to put Pakistan into a small cage after 26/11 terror strikes, by visiting Pakistan.
In case you are not familiar with Indian politics, get a snippet of Rahul Gandhi now: Born on June 19, 1970, Rahul Gandhi is the son of the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
He said that when the Congress checked this out with the Chief Ministers of states ruled by it in the North-East, they had no clue. “Modi ji said I have not seen a scheme as bad as MGNREGA”. Because they are poor, weak, Dalits and Tribals.
“When he stopped over at Pakistan without talking to the professionals in our government the Prime Minister disrespected our flag”. We will not let this happen.
