Goyal attacks Congress
Piyush Goyal was asked about the Opposition parties, mainly the Congress, and the protests against the Centre in the recent past over Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
“The coalition of corrupt is being developed. By raising ‘selective’ questions on India’s integrity and institutions, Congress is showing the level it can stoop down to….
"It leads to doubts if it is the Congress strategy to put pressure on courts and institutions.
"They have attacked democracy since 2014. India’s democracy is safe…People have given their verdict. Look at the three Northeast states where the BJP is in power. People are with us,” Goyal said.
