Rahul targets Goyal over business dealings

New Delhi May 1 (IANS) Congress President Rahul Gandhi continued his attack on Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal over his sale of shares in a privately-held company at nearly 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 " Gandhi tweeted on Tuesday.

The Congress President also targeted the media for being biased over reporting on Goyal.

"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 " he added.

Last week the Congress said Goyal and his wife sold the entire stocks of Flashnet Info Solutions (India) to Piramal Estates for an "astronomical price" of Rs 9 586 per share totalling Rs 48 crore or 1 000 times the book value.
