Amid rancorous politics on Rafale fighter jet issue, Union Minister Smriti Irani took a dig at Rahul Gandhi accusing him of telling "more lies" on the matter after he called Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharama a "liar", and alleged that Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra had a plush 1.9 million pound house in London, which is under the scanner of Enforcement Directorate.

At a press briefing, Irani said even after the Defence Minister placed all the facts in Parliament, it took Rahul Gandhi "48 hours to wake up, only to spread more lies".
