Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has hit back at Congress leader Ahmed Patel’s reported remark that BJP was responsible for the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.
Strongly refuting the Congress charge Jaitley in tweet wrote
From May 1991 till 2004, the Congress blamed its present ally the DMK for Shri Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination. It even withdrew support from the United Front government on this ground. 28 years later, today a desperate Congress has discovered a BJP role.

In another tweet Jaitley reminded the Congress,
From December 1990 till May 1991, when Shri Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated, the Congress Party supported Chandra Shekhar government was in power.
