Goyal prying open corporate houses' doors for Modi: Rahul
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.

TN supplier of ghee to Tirupati temple says labs have certified product quality
Chennai (PTI): AR Dairy, a company that supplied ghee to Tirupati Lord Balaji temple, on Friday said their product samples have been duly cleared by authorities certifying its quality.
The Dindigul based firm's spokespersons told reporters that only during the months of June and July they had supplied ghee to the Tirumala Lord Venkateswaraswamy temple.
Even when ghee was supplied to Tirupati temple, it was sent along with duly accredited lab reports.
"There has been no deviations at all." Their firm was only one of the several vendors who had supplied ghee to the TTD and quality certifications had been shared with them.
"Our ghee is not being sent now to Tirupati temple. We don't send," a spokesperson said, adding, their products were available at all places and that these could be tested for quality.
A major row has erupted following Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's claims of low quality ghee and alleged presence of animal fat in the laddus made and distributed at the shrine.
