BJP over Rafale deal, along with Anil Ambani. Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacking PM Modi and Anil Ambani called Rafale an open and shut case.
He referred to it as a PM Modi-Anil Ambani partnership. Congress chief also called Dassault CEO lier and asked him why they invested in a loss-making company?
“Dassault invested Rs 284 Crore in the company of Anil Ambani. Anil Ambani bought land with the same money. This is clear that Dassault CEO is lying. Why did they invest Rs 284 crore in a loss-making company,?” asked Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
If an inquiry starts on this Mr Modi is not going to survive it. Guaranteed. One, because of corruption. Two, because it's very clear who the decision maker was...It was Narendra Modi & it was a deal done by Narendra Modi to give Anil Ambani Rs 30000 Cr: Rahul Gandhi #RafaleDeal pic.twitter.com/FgA50ZfHlF
