“I will not go into what has prompted her to speak out now. But this much I can tell you. When I was there as Environment Minister, not once did Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi told me how to deal with anything in the ministry… By speaking out like this, more than a year after she was removed from office, she is only making it clear that she did not know how to discharge her duties”
M Veerappa Moily
Former Environment Minister
“As Jayanti Natarajan’s immediate predecessor for slightly over 25 months, I can say with all honesty that at no point of time did Rahul Gandhi ever tell me, directly or indirectly, what to do or what not to do in the discharge of my ministerial responsibilities… Her allegations against him are not just completely unfair but also preposterously baseless”.
Jairam Ramesh
Former Environment Minister
“Not making use of any of the opportunities, if they make this wild allegation, the reason is obvious. It is some ulterior motive. Let them do that… Congress never stops anyone from resigning. So Jayanthi can also go Krishna Tirath way”
Abhishek Singhvi
Congress spokesman
“Why did she get time today only to reveal all these? The timing of the outburst suggests many things… Narendra Modi as Prime Ministerial candidate during his campaign used to refer about ‘Jayanti tax’…why is she making the allegations now?…It’s apparent who is benefitting from it”
C P Joshi
General Secretary
“Since you have resigned now, hope has emerged that Congress will have a bright future and I convey crores of thanks on behalf party workers for your decision”
E V K S Elangovan
TN Congress Committee chief
“We get so many letters and delegations from interested persons, but as a minister, one is expected to go by the rule book and not to favour anyone. If she has done any illegal things, it should be probed”

Former Maharashtra CM
