New Delhi, Sep 29 : Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale fighter jet deal, falling rupee and hike in fuel prices.

"See what wonders the Saheb (Modi's) has done/ look at the Rafale murk/ the falling rupee, the rising oil," Gandhi tweeted in Hindi verse.

"In Mumbai petrol at Rs 90.75, diesel at Rs 79.23 per litre. In Delhi, petrol at Rs 83.4, diesel at Rs 74.63 per litre," he added.

The Congress chief has been repeatedly attacking Modi over the recent past on the Rafale deal, alleging scam in the purchase of 36 fighter jets from the French manufacturer Dassault Aviation.

Earlier, he has also slammed the BJP-led Central government over the falling rupee and the hike in fuel prices across the county.

Chennai (PTI): TVK chief Vijay on Wednesday met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and staked claim to form the government in the state, two days after his party emerged as the single largest party but was short of a simple majority.

The TVK founder met the Governor at 3.15 pm following an invitation from the Lok Bhavan. He was accompanied by party leaders, including "Bussy" N Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, K A Sengottaiyan, C T Nirmal Kumar and others during the meeting.

Vijay met the Governor hours after the Congress party declared support and following a meeting between the TVK chief and Congress leaders here. While the TVK appears keen on securing support from the VCK and the two Left parties, who continue to be part of the DMK-led alliance, they have so far not given any positive signals.

The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member strong Tamil Nadu Assembly in the recently held elections. 118 is the majority mark to form the government.

Vijay is likely to take oath as Chief Minister on May 7, according to party sources.

The DMK won 59, AIADMK 47, Congress 5, PMK 4, IUML 2, CPI 2, VCK 2, CPI-M 2. BJP, DMDK and AMMK won 1 seat each.
