What Jayanthi had said about Rahul

Virtually opening a can of worms, she accused Rahul Gandhi's office of planting stories to sully her reputation after she had resigned as the environment minister on the direction of Sonia Gandhi. She resigned in May 2013.

"Specific inputs were received from the office of Rahul Gandhi based on the representation by NGOs raising environment concerns on certain large projects," she said suggesting that the Congress vice-president had interfered in the decision making process.

She rued that she was not given a hearing by the top leadership after a flurry of media reports carrying "insinuation and innuendo' against her.
