Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a fire broke out at Shastri Bhawan that houses offices of several ministries, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said burning files will not save the PM as his day of judgement is near.

A fire broke out on the sixth floor of Shastri Bhawan here this afternoon and was brought under control later.

Shastri Bhawan houses the ministries of Law, Information and Broadcasting, Corporate Affairs, Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and Human Resources Development. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, fire officials said.

“Modiji burning files is not going to save you. Your day of judgement is coming,” Gandhi tweeted.

However, hitting out at Rahul Gandhi, Union minister Prakash Javadekar later said the fire at Delhi’s Shastri Bhawan has not destroyed any files, as claimed by the Congress chief.

Stop peddling lies! The fire in Shastri Bhavan has caused no damage to any files. The waste and scrap kept on the top floor caught fire and was extinguished within 30 minutes. Do your homework before casting allegations. One more jhoot of Congress!” Javadekar tweeted.

“You are daydreaming of coming to power, which is not going to happen. People of India have already decided to repose their faith in @narendramodi ji’s leadership. Your judgement day is coming soon. Wait for the shock,” he added.
