“The way Cabinet Minister Piyush Goyal is found involved in a case of conflict of interest and gratification and how a Rs 10 share was sold for Rs 5,700 under the ‘Modi model’… and the Minister and his family hides it from everyone… there is an outrage in the nation,” Surjewala said.
He also accused the Union government of compromising national security by not acting against intrusion of the Chinese forces in Indian territory.
