NEW DELHI: Congress president
Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a dig at Prime Minister
Narendra Modi over a
fire that broke out in Delhi's
Shastri Bhawan that houses many ministries.
Taking to Twitter, the Congress president said, "Modi ji, burning files is not going to save you. Your day of judgement is coming."
Meanwhile, the fire at Shastri Bhawan was douzed immediately and there were no casualties reported.
According to the fire officials, the fire broke out at the top floor in the waste material of cooler and electrical wires. They denied any damage to files or official documents. "The reason behind the fire has not been ascertained," they added. However a short-circuit is suspected to be the likely cause.
Shastri Bhawan houses the ministries of law, information and broadcasting, corporate affairs, chemicals and petrochemicals, and human resources development.
Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi was pulled up by the Supreme Court over his "regret" to attribute the "
chowkidar chor hai" remark to apex court.
The SC has directed the Congress president to file one more affidavit relating to his alleged contemptuous "chowkidar chor hai" remark, which the apex court said was wrongly attributed to it.
