Union Minister Piyush Goyal has hit back at the Congress President, Rahul Gandhi, who on Tuesday demanded the resignation of the Union Minister over the Rs 48 crore Flashnet scam.
Taking to Twitter Piyush Goyal said, “You’re just a dynast. I’m a law, CA topper, what are you?”
I am a law topper, CA 2nd rank all over India, professional Chartered Accountant & investment banker and therefore competent to give consultancy. BTW Mr @PChidambaram_IN who are the consultants in your son @KartiPC's consultancy?

Till 26th May 2014, before I became a Minister, I was a professional Chartered Accountant & investment banker. Unlike you, Mr @RahulGandhi, I have not learnt well the art of living without working. I am also a kaamdaar (worker) and not a naamdaar (dynast)

Rahul Gandhi had demanded the resignation of Piyush Goyal and had accused him of being involved in the 48 crore rupees Flashnet scam. He alleged that the scam was about “deceit, conflict of interest and greed”.
The Congress president had also taken to Twitter to attack the Railways’ Minister. He tweeted saying that Goyal sold his stock of Flashnet Info Solutions to Piramal group, which has interests in the power sector, at 1,000 times the face value.
Piyush Goyal’s, 48 CR. #FlashNet Scam is about deceit, conflict of interest and greed. The evidence is on the table. Yet, the media will not touch the story.
It is a tragedy for our country when journalists entrusted to stand for the truth, will not speak.#GoyalMustResign pic.twitter.com/WeUaSAT8wg

Earlier, PM challenged Congress President Rahul Gandhi for a 15-minute debate on Karnataka.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) had challenged me that if he speaks for 15 minutes then I will not be able to stand in front of him. Yes, you are right, you are a ‘naamdar’, what right do we ‘kaamdaars’ have to even sit in front of you”.
“I challenge you (Rahul Gandhi) to speak for 15 minutes on the achievements of your government in Karnataka without reading from any piece of paper. You can speak in Hindi, English or your mother tongue”.
