Arun Jaitley calls Rahul Gandhi a ‘clown prince’ who spreads lies


New Delhi, Sep 20 (NIE): Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, in a Facebook note titled: ‘Falsehood of a Clown Prince’, has accused Congress President Rahul Gandhi of leading a falsehood campaign on the Rafale deal and waving loans worth Rs 2,50,000 crores given to 15 industrialists.

“You lied on the Rafale deal, you lied on the NPAs. Your temperament to concoct facts raises a legitimate question – do people whose natural preference is falsehood deserve to be a part of the public discourse.

“Public discourse is a serious activity. It is not a laughter challenge. It cannot be reduced to a hug, a wink or repetition of falsehood. The world’s largest democracy must seriously introspect whether public discourse should be allowed to be polluted by the falsehood of a ‘Clown Prince’,” Jaitley wrote.

On NPAs, Jaitley alleged a bulk of the bad loans were hidden under the carpet by the UPA government and they took no steps to recover them. He credited the NDA government for introducing the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and enabling banks to recover the defaulted loans.

“The banks under UPA took no steps to recover these loans. They did not prosecute a single major debtor who had siphoned off money. It is the NDA Government which through IBC, changed the debtor-creditor relationship and enabled the banks to effectively pursue the recovery. The truth, Mr. Rahul Gandhi, is that your Government allowed the banks to be looted. The loans were inadequately securitized. Your Government was in complicity. The recoveries are being done by the banks only now,” he wrote.

Jaitley also said in mature democracies those who rely on falsehood are considered unfit for public life. “Many have been banished from political activity because they were caught lying. But this rule obviously can’t apply to a dynastic organisation like Congress Party.”

    God has given Union Minister Arun Jaitley second life on donors kidney. Instead of giving good governance his ministry is running like a circus company.

    The BJP which worship 'Bharat Mata', what is the problem of Congress demand of joint parliamentary panel to prove the allegation?

    HAL has the ability to make advanced fighter jets and "would have been happy to give a guarantee” for the aircraft it produced.It had maintained the Mirage-2000 aircraft, manufactured by Rafale maker Dassault Aviation, for the last 20 years and also involved in the complex Mirage upgrade programme.

    On September 19 that Congress pointed out to the CAG, "discrepancies in the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft. We pointed out how public exchequer has lost ₹41,000 crores. Why the purchase of an aircraft which UPA was buying for ₹526 crores at the rate of ₹1,670 crore by Modi government?” The Congress memorandum to the CAG said that instead of “Public Sector Undertaking, HAL, offset contract worth over ₹30,000 crore and Life Cycle Cost Contract worth approximately ₹1 lakh crore” were "extended to a private entity with zero experience of manufacturing aircrafts”, thus “endangering our National Security apparatus”.

    The Congress party has pointed out as to how HAL which has been selected as the offset partner getting a contract of ₹36,000 crores from Dassault Aviation has been superseded. Although Dassault admitted in its corporate filing in France that HAL is its defence partner and how the company which was formed by Reliance before Prime Minister’s visit to France has been given ₹30,000 crore contracts,”?

    The Government has twice revealed the price in Parliament. Nirmala Sitharaman herself had announced at a media briefing that the prices would be revealed. Even now she maintains that the NDA’s Rafale deal is 9% cheaper than what was negotiated by UPA. So, what is preventing her from coming clean?

    We have seen who is clown with his actions & fingers closing & opening in Loksabha after Rahul hugged him.
    Jaitley has proven a lier in DDCA Scam in which Laptops hired with 18000/day rent, while printers were hired for 3000/day!
    Being President of the said organisation he should took all the responsibility as his own party member Kirti Azad filed petitions to investigate but were sidelined by this Mr Clean or Clown.

    First tell the truth what Mallya was disclosed with you before leaving the country and why you did not inform right authorities to take action to impound his passport or Block his exit from immigration counter.
    Also note that why you people do not agree to Opposition demand verify the Rafael dealings and produce all the documentation on the matter. Liars easily recognize other liars.
