Mumbai, Dec 22 (IANS): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA government on the much-debated issue of banks loans write-offs perpetrated in the past few years.
Reacting to a story by IANS (Dec. 20), Gandhi tweeted: A new record by Modi Government. Attacking the common man, busy protecting his friends.
The reference was to an IANS report based on RTI in which it was revealed how the NDA scored three times over the erstwhile Congress-led UPA government in the matter of loans-write offs.
Earlier, the report was tweeted by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy and Aam Aadmi Party National Spokesperson Preeti Sharma-Menon in the past two days.
