His remarks came as the state Congress leadership continued to maintain that the government could not backtrack from the PM SHRI scheme.

Questioning Rajan’s criticism, Venugopal asked why he had remained silent when he was a cabinet minister. “Wasn’t Rajan someone who remained silent when he was a cabinet minister? We did not see this courage from him then. Wasn’t he part of an understanding at that time?” Venugopal asked.
He pointed out the contrast between Rajan’s stand while in power and his present criticism.
