“Dear Mr. Jaitley, I guess your boss refused to hold a Joint Parliamentary Committee on the GREAT RAFALE ROBBERY? Too much to hide, too scared to face the people, I suppose...,” Gandhi scion tweeted on Thursday.

Terming demonetisation the country's "biggest scam", Gandhi alleged that money was taken from common people and given to "crony capitalists".

Earlier in the day, Rahul reminded Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitely that less than six hours were left to set up a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe the Rafale deal.

Congress has no answer to Jaitley's assertion that the basic price at which NDA government acquired the Rafale aircraft was 20% cheaper than what was approved by the UPA regime.

The Congress chief's attack comes after Arun Jaitley termed the Congress' charges on the defence deal a "complete falsehood" in his blogpost.

During the Congress Core Group meeting in New Delhi on Thursday, Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, compared RSS with 'poison' and said everyone knows the consequences of tasting it.

Rahul Gandhi had expressed his wish to undertake Kailsh Mansarovar yatra during ‘Jan Aakrosh’ rally at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on April 29 this year.

Earlier on Wednesday, Jaitley had said that Gandhi had converted the Rafale issue into a non-serious debate.

The finance minister said that Rahul Gandhi is himself not sure about what price of the jet to quote.

Talking to reporters in Kochi, Rahul Gandhi said India is witnessing a fight between 'centralised' and 'decentralised' visions.

Pune police on Tuesday raided the homes of at least nine rights activists and arrested five of them for alleged Maoist links in sweeping raids across the nation.

On a question about an alliance, he said the party is in discussion with the BSP and the common objective is to defeat the BJP.  

Gandhi, who arrived in Thiruvanthapuram at around 10:30 this morning from abroad, visited relief camps in Chengannur and heard the woes of the people. 

A plea filed by complainants, the ADCB and its chairman Ajay Patel, contended that the two leaders had levelled "false and defamatory allegations" against the bank.

“Whichever party has got more seats can claim the prime minister's post," Pawar said.

The plea filed by the ADCB and its chairman stated that the two leaders had levelled 'false and defamatory' allegations against the bank.

During his speech last week, Gandhi had said the RSS' idea is similar to that of Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world. He had also alleged that the RSS was trying to "change" the nature of India and "capture" its institutions.

Sources say the event will focus on "the India of the future". According to the organisation's Twitter handle, the event will be a three-day lecture series titled "Future of Bharat: An RSS’ perspective” by Sarsanghchalak, Dr Mohan Bhagwat.

BJP's national secretary R P Singh said Gandhi was trying to wash his party's hands of its alleged culpability in the riots.

Pitroda urged diaspora to spread the message and added that the results of Lok Sabha elections 2019 will define the future of India.
