New Delhi, May 6

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar today countered Lok Sabha member from Wayanad Rahul Gandhi’s “no transparency” jibe, saying the Congress leader was “deliberately misleading the people as he cannot rise above his petulance even at such times”.

“Questions about Covid foreign aid: What all supplies has India received? Where are they? Who is benefitting from them? How are they allocated to states? Why no transparency? Any answers, GOI?” he had asked in a tweet yesterday.

Countering the questions and the allegations, Javadekar tweeted, “Yet another attempt by Rahul Gandhi to deliberately mislead the people. Knowing fully well that the aid received has not only moved fast and delivered at many places, Mr. Gandhi cannot rise above his petulance even at such times.”

In another tweet, the minister “condemned his efforts to mislead and confuse people”.
