Congress President Rahul Gandhi calls notebandi a 'scam'

Soon after Gandhi addressed a press conference, other BJP leaders also accused the Congress president of being a "non-serious political player"

Rahul Gandhi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley were locked on Friday in a verbal duel over the demonetisation issue with the Opposition leader alleging it was a "huge scam" to help PM Narendra Modi's "crony capitalist friends" and the senior BJP leader hitting back saying his "little knowledge is dangerous".

Soon after Gandhi addressed a press conference, other BJP leaders also accused the Congress president of being a "non-serious political player". Hitting back at Gandhi, Jaitley said, "Little knowledge is dangerous. Rahul Gandhi's fiction on 'demonetisation helping NPA holders', forgets that the Modi government legislated and enforced the IBC where the NPA defaulters lost their companies."
