Congress denies Subramanian Swamy's claims that Rahul Gandhi is UK citizen
On Monday, Subramanian Swamy once again targeted Rahul Gandhi by presenting documents which state him as a UK resident.The Congress has reverted back by presenting a list of documents of Rahul's BACKOPS company, squashing all the claims made by Swamy.

It has created a dilemma of trust as both the representatives are backing their arguments with their own evidence.
