Smriti Irani said the political system is increasingly realising that it is dangerous to even maintain social contact with the Congress Supremo. “Unquestionably, he is a congenital liar,” she added.
Rahul Gandhi had on Wednesday night responded to Parrikar’s letter that accused him of using his visit for “petty political gains”. Raga said he was disturbed to hear about Parrikar’s letter which was “leaked to the press before I have had a chance to read it.”
“I have not shared any details of my conversation with you when we met in Goa yesterday. In my two speeches since we met, I have referred to what is already in the public domain,” Rahul Gandhi was quoted saying.

Smriti Irani accused Rahul Gandhi of contriving conversations in the past and called him India’s first “post truth politician.”
“He fabricated a false conversation between him and French President (Emmanuel) Macron which the France government promptly denied. Earlier, he concocted a conversation with Arun Jaitley claiming that the Minister had told him that he knew very little about Jammu & Kashmir,” Irani said.
After Rahul's courtesy visit to ailing Manohar Parrikar, his comment about the Rafale deal has created political upheaval as Parrikar accused him of using the meeting for political gains.
