New Delhi, April 28: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused Railways and Coal Minister Piyush Goyal of "prying open the doors of corporate houses" for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought to know how the latter will act against him.
"It's no secret that CA Piyush Goyal, the BJP treasurer, has pried open the doors of every major corporate house for PM Modi," Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet.
"How then will the PM act against this Minister, caught red handed misusing his power for Rs 48 crore personal gain?"
Earlier, the Congress called Goyal's alleged sale of shares held in a privately held company at nearly 1,000 times the face value as a "murky saga" of "gratification, gross impropriety and conflict of interest".
The Congress sought Goyal's removal and a "comprehensive, independent investigation" into the matter.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, however, defended Goyal, saying it was a Congress attempt to attack Goyal on "baseless, malicious and incorrect" accusations.

Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
