Karnal, Aug. 31 -- Union power minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday accused the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of allegedly using "false slogans and seeking headlines merely for cheap popularity" by interacting with students on alleged paper leaks and other issues. "There is nothing wrong with engaging in dialogue. Without dialogue, political parties and their leaders would not be able to fulfil their roles. But it must be based on facts and truth," the minister told reporters in Karnal. Khattar was in Karnal to inaugurate four Karnal smart city projects worth Rs.23.67 crore. The projects included two community centres, an observation home and the beautified Shaheed Udham Singh Park. He said that these projects will benefit the people and at least five more projects are under-construction including the single-pillar flyover. Regarding the rising prices of sugar and the opposition's target on mismanagement, Khattar said that market rates keep fluctuating. "This isn't the first time this price has risen. The opposition has forgotten the times when they used to be shaken by these very things. To what extent did the prices of onions and pulses go during their tenure? Didn't sugar become more expensive then? The good thing is that the government took immediate action as soon as the sugar prices rose. As a result, the price dropped by Rs.15 in a single day," the Karnal MP said.On the controversy surrounding the word 'Meghwal' in the state, Khattar said that such demands are voluntary and optional and cannot be imposed on anyone....
