Gandhi assailed the ruling dispensation when Prime Minister Modi was not in the house and nor were most of his front-line ministers, but the Congress vice president named them all and accused the Prime Minister of listening to none, including his ministers.

Responding on Gandhi's allegations, the BJP criticised him for his attack on the government in the Lok Sabha, saying it was 'full of drama but lacked in content', and dubbed the Congress vice president a lying machine" and a "non-serious, part-time politician".

Slamming Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's speech targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley raised questions about his knowledge and maturity, Home Minister Rajnath Singh denied the Congress leader's claim that he was not kept in the loop before signing a peace pact with Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM.

"Rahul Gandhi's statement on Naga peace accord in Lok Sabha today is completely false and baseless. I had several rounds of consultations with the PM on the Naga peace process. I strongly condemn Rahul Gandhi's attempt to mislead the House," the Home Minister said.
