    Rahul Gandhi's allegations of corruption against PM Modi created an uproar among members of the ruling dispensation. Gandhi's allegations were dismissed by senior BJP leaders as being "baseless". Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Ananth Kumar, said Gandhi made these accusations out of "desperation". Kumar also accused the opposition parties for not letting the house function and blaming others for the ruckus.
