This govt is of reason and common sense: Jaitley tells Rahul

#This govt is of reason and common sense: Arun Jaitley tells Rahul Gandhi # Narendra Modi # Farmers
New Delhi, Apr 30 (IBNS): Even as Rahul Gandhi commenced his day-long 15-km 'padyatra' (march) in Maharashtra on Thursday, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley took a dig at the Congress Vice President in the Parliament.
"This is not a government of  'suited-booted' people, it is a government of 'sooj booj' (reason and common sense)," Jaitley said in the parliament.
 
Slamming Gandhi over his 57-day sabbatical, Jaitley said: "Perhaps the PM travels abroad, but at least we know where he is."
 
Gandhi on Wednesday raised the issue of farmers' plight and suicide in Lok Sabha attacking the Narendra Modi government and using the reference of BJP's Haryana minister who said farmers committing suicide are cowards.
 
Taking a jibe at Narendra Modi for his frequent foreign tours, Rahul Gandhi had said: "The Prime Minister has come to India on tour, he should go to Punjab too for some days and find out what is happening."
 
He said the government helps the farmers and go to the markets (mandis) procure the wheat (blackened by unseasonal rain) and it will be good for them only.
 
 In his first speech in the Parliament as an opposition MP, Gandhi earlier took on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led government at the Centre calling it a 'Suit-Boot ki Sarkar'. 
 
"Yours is a government of big people, it belongs to big corporates, it is a suit-boot ki Sarkar," the Gandhi scion said on Apr 20 during a debate on the agrarian crisis in the Lok Sabha.
