The incident took place at around 8 pm Sunday and the deceased were identified as Kripesh and Sarath Lal (24).

The Congress president had cited Train 18 experiencing trouble on Saturday to attack PM Modi's Make in India programme, claiming that most people feel it has failed.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi paid his tribute to the fallen CRPF men and said that the 'nation won't be divided' by these acts of terror.

Rahul Gandhi's 'Valentine's Day surprise' was caught on camera and has now gone viral.

Addressing a two-day meet of the All India Congress Seva Dal, Gandhi said every section of society, be it farmers, youths or small-scale traders, suffered under the Modi government and they should get justice.  

"BJP demands that Rahul apologise as SC order and CAG report on Rafale jet deal have exposed his lies," Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.

The only reason for the new deal is to give Rs 30,000 crore to industrialist Anil Ambani, the Congress chief alleged.

The Congress’ attack came a day after, Gandhi accused the prime minister of “treason” and violating the Official Secrets Act by acting as Anil Ambani’s “middleman” in the Rafale jet contract, citing an email to claim the businessman was aware of the deal days before India and France finalised it.

Stating that the contagion effect of falsehood is fairly large, Jaitley said the lies spread by the Congress have spread to other colleagues in the "Mahajhootbandhan".

The Union minister further asked Gandhi to answer how he got hold of the company's internal communication and accused him of acting as a "lobbyist" of foreign firms.

"The Prime Minister is scared of JPC. Since you are not heeding to the demand of JPC, we are staging a walkout," Kharge said as his party staged a walkout.

It is pertinent to mention here that just months ahead of Lok Sabha elections 2019, the principal opposition party is trying to corner the Centre over the Rafale deal.

Besides the Lok Sabha polls, the assembly elections are also due in Andhra Pradesh this year.  

Others present at the event will be those who had participated in West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's rally in Kolkata erlier this month, said Delhi AAP convener Gopal Rai. 

Chandrababu Naidu is holding a day-long fast, demanding that the Centre grant special status to the state and fulfil all promises made before its bifurcation in 2014. A TDP delegation led by Naidu will submit a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday.

Congress leaders say this time the buzz will not be limited to "just cosmetics" but will be followed up by serious business ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2019.

Dismissing Gandhi's allegations, Union Law Minister and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said he was "lying shamelessly" on the fighter jet deal and has got "Rafale phobia".

Gandhi cited a media report, which quoted an Uber driver as saying that the government has not given jobs and he found one after investing lakhs, to make his point.

Pitroda said he is hopeful that Priyanka Gandhi's coming into active politics will have a big impact on the polls.

Revealing about the condition of Manmohan Singh during the rule of UPA, Krishna said the former prime minister had no say over the portfolio.
