Taking the attack to the Congress on the Rafale deal after the Supreme Court verdict, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has now reportedly alleged that the party was “knowingly” misleading people over the pricing of Rafale jets.
“The Congress is knowingly misleading people on the pricing of the Rafale jets,” Sitharaman said at the BJP office in Mumbai. The stance of the country’s “first family” in not listening to the apex court’s order on the Rafale deal case petition can be termed as, with due respect, “amazing audacity”, she said.
The Supreme Court had said there is no occasion to doubt the decision-making process in the procurement of 36 Rafale jets from France, and dismissed all the petitions seeking an investigation into alleged irregularities in the Rs 58,000 crore deal.
