New Delhi: With a fiery 31-minute animated taunt at Modi government, mixed with sarcasm and humour, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, long ridiculed for his drab speeches, on Wednesday appeared to have made a much-desired shift in his oratory skills.There was often deft silence, repeatedly disturbed by loud jeer from the treasury benches,

when the 45-year-old Gandhi scion tore into the government over various issues in the high-ceilinged precincts of the Lok Sabha. Starting off with a taunt on the budgetary proposal allowing a window to domestic investors on announcing their black money, Gandhi said the government has come up with a 'Fair and Lovely Yojana' for financial malpractices.

"Modi ji promised employment to the youth before the polls. Now the lion appears everywhere (Make in India logo). But tell us now how many jobs you have generated?" Gandhi asked the Prime Minister. "You created this Make In India Babbar Sher. Where ever you see, you see the lion. Even on TV we can see the lion," Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha.

Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today raised doubts about "maturity" of Congress vice president and said the more he hears him, the more he wonders "how much does he know and when will he know."

In a facebook post in response to Gandhi's charge that Prime Minister Narendra Modi hardly consulted senior ministers, Jaitley said Modi not only works hard and involves himself in the functioning of the various departments of the government but also inspires his team to work harder.
