Rafale deal row: Rahul Gandhi attacks PM Narendra Modi over Rafale, says "the Prime Minister of India is a corrupt man"
Rahul Gandhi in a press conference today at the Congress party headquarters has alleged that PM Narendra Modi is favouring the capitalists of the country and the deal between the Dassault company of France and Anil Ambani’s Reliance has been mediated by him.
Rahul Gandhi has launched an all-out offensive against the Prime Minister where he accused PM Modi of “stealing” the Rafale aircraft from the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and giving it to Anil Ambani.
Rahul in the press conference said that ‘’Narendra Modi government wanted Anil Ambani’s firm as offset partner, and Ex-President of France Francois Hollande has claimed that India’s PM Narendra Modi gave Rs. 30,000 crore as a compensation to Anil Ambani”
He further added that he has heard from some sources that “Nirmala Sitharaman has gone to France; no one knows what is the big emergency in France that Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has to visit Dassault factory.”
