'Compulsive contrarians' opposing Modi govt with 'falsehoods': FM Jaitley

Arun Jaitley said that certain elements had used manufactured falsehoods to target the government on issues such as the Justice Loya case, Rafale deal, CBI row and the RBI debate

There are some who believe that the BJP-led NDA government can do no good and that every act of it must be opposed, said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in a Facebook blog post on Thursday aimed at Opposition parties, whom he termed as a new class of "compulsive contrarians". 

"There are some in the political system who thought that they were born to rule. There are those who had managed to penetrate into positions of influence irrespective of the Government in power. Some who were part of the ideological left and the ultra-left obviously found the new Government wholly unacceptable.
