Further lashing out at the opposition which is attempting to show unity against the Centre on the Adani issue and Rahul Gandhi's disqualification, the Minister said that all the "corrupt" have come together on a single stage.

"All the corrupt people have come together on a single stage. Their only objective is to derail and disturb the government and the new energy in the country. Those people should remember how the country was looted during the UPA government and conspiracy was hatched to weaken the institutions," he said.

"Those who talk about institutions should answer if the institutions are strengthened by tearing apart the ordinance when the Prime Minister was abroad. This proves that Rahul Gandhi considers himself above every institution," Vaishnaw added citing Rahul Gandhi's old incident in 2013.

Earlier on Tuesday, Taking a jibe at the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that all those who are deeply rooted in corruption have come together and are attacking the constitutional institutions of the country.

PM Modi was addressing an event after inaugurating the newly constructed BJP central office (extension) here in the national capital.
In his address, PM Modi said, "We have a strong foundation of constitutional institutions. That's why to stop India, constitutional institutions are being attacked. Conspiracies are being hatched to defame our institutions and bring down their credibility".

"When agencies take action against those who are deeply rooted in corruption, they attack the agencies. When courts pronounce order, questions are being raised on the judicial system," he added.
