New Delhi, Dec 26 (Agencies): In what could be an embarrassing moment for Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit has junked the documents used by Rahul to accuse PM Modi of corruption. He targeted the PM over 'Sahara diaries' bribery issue.

BJP immediately latched onto the issue, saying there cannot be double standards and that Rahul was "whipping a dead horse" as the apex court has already cleared the matter while parties like JD(U), RJD and NCP demanded that everyone mentioned in the diaries should be probed.

Sheila, who is also Congress’ chief ministerial candidate in Uttar Pradesh, strongly denied the charges and trashed the documents, saying the Supreme Court has already made its observations on them.

"There is no iota of truth in the allegations. I totally reject these allegations," she said. Asked about Congress putting out the "list" publicly on its twitter handle, she told PTI, "It surprised me". She, however, said she has nothing to do with the issue and refused to speak further saying the matter is sub-judice.

Sources close to her said she may take up the matter with the party.

"The list has so many names. Then why are you focusing on Sheila Dikshit. I don’t even remember anything like this. There are names of other chief ministers. Why don’t you talk about them? Why only Sheila Dikshit?" she said. BJP national Secretary Siddharth Nath Singh said, "There cannot be double standards but Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and their spokespersons are making stupid mistakes time and again. A horse has died and his death has been certified by the Supreme Court."

Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, he said the Congress leader "should have gained wisdom by now, he is no more a child".

Meanwhile, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has also questioned the validity of the documents in a tweet.

JD(U) leader K C Tyagi said, "I want that the Sahara diaries should now be made public and all the people named in it should be questioned."

"There are accusations against Sheila Dikshit, Raman Singh and Shivraj (Singh Chouhan) and some other leaders that they have received money from Sahara and that is why we demand that the entire list should be made public," he alleged.
