Union Minister Nitin Gadkari told Rahul Gandhi on Monday, 4 February, that he doesn’t want a “certificate of courage” from the Congress president.

“I don’t want a certificate for courage from you, but it is surprising that even after being the president of a national party, you have to resort to twisted media reports attack our government,” Gadkari wrote on Twitter after Gandhi commented on a remark made by the minister.

Earlier in the day, Gandhi complimented Gadkari for his remark that "one who cannot take care of home cannot manage the country.” The Congress president said that Gadkari should also comment on other issues, including the Rafale deal.

"Gadkari Ji, compliments. You are the only one in the BJP with some guts. Please also comment on: The Rafale scam and Anil Ambani, farmers' distress and destruction of institutions," Gandhi tweeted.

In a series of tweets, Gadkari also accused Gandhi of criticising the BJP by “firing a gun from someone else’s shoulder.” Speaking on Rafale, the Union minister added that the BJP has done a commendable job by prioritising security.

While addressing former workers of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in Nagpur, Gadkari had said that a person, who can't take care of one’s home, cannot manage the country.

Apart from Gandhi, other Congress leaders have lauded the Union minister for his recent statements, that are speculated to be veiled jibes at the top BJP leadership.
