After new reports about the Rafale deal emerged in The Hindu news paper, the slug- fest between the Congress and the BJP resumed again.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack and said the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) was directly involved in conducting negotiations with the French side on the Rafale deal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “guilty” in the scam.
It is an open and shut case, Gandhi declared, citing a report in The Hindu newspaper claiming the Defence ministry raised strong objections to “parallel discussions” conducted by the PMO during the negotiations over the Rs 59,000 crore Rafale deal between India and France.
“I want to speak to every member of the armed forces of this nation… Here, it is absolutely clear that the prime minister has stolen Rs 30,000 crore of your money, bypassed a process, and given it to his friend Mr. Anil Ambani,” Gandhi said at a press conference.
The government can use the law against everyone, including his brother-in-law Robert Vadra and former Union Finance minister P Chidambaram, but must answer questions on the Rafale deal, the Congress chief said.
