‘He’s an expert on subject of stealing’: Sitharaman hits back at Rahul’s chor jibe

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for alleging that the Centre was stealing from the Reserve Bank of India for masking the “self created economic disaster”. The FM said the Congress leader tried very hard in the past to throw mud using terms like “chor, chor, chori”.

“He tried very hard in the past using chor, chor, chori. But the public gave him a sateek jawab (right answer). But he still insists on using the term. He should at least consult senior leaders in the Congress party who have been ministers in the past before speaking on such matters,” said Sitharaman.
