Congress president Rahul Gandhi today walked into the office of Goa CM Manohar Parrikar and checked upon his health as the political struggle continues over Rafale in the power corridor’s of Lutyen’s Delhi.

A day after tweeting that Manohar Parrikar has in possession of “explosive Rafale secrets that gave the Goa Chief Minister power over the PM.” And Congress president has also demanded for inquiry into the alleged audio tape, which he intended to play in the Parliament.


Rahul Gandhi tweeted, saying, “30 days since the Goa Audio Tapes on RAFALE were released. No FIR or enquiry ordered. No action against the Minister either! It's obvious that the tapes are authentic & that Goa CM, Parrikar, is in possession of explosive RAFALE secrets, that give him power over the PM.”

Chandrakant Kavlekar, who is the Goa Congress Legislature Party chief, today said over Rahul Gandhi’s visit that “Rahul ji is on a private trip to Goa. He visited the CM to check on his health. I also requested him to meet our Congress MLAs, he obliged and met all of them.”

BJP leader Vijay Sardesai has genuinely praised Rahul Gandhi and asked the Goa Congress to learn a lesson from him. “It is very nice of him to do so. It should teach a lesson to the local unit of the Congress which has been troubling Mr Parrikar. He dropped in to just ask about his health.”

Rahul Gandhi tweeted this morning “This morning I visited Goa CM, Manohar Parrikar, to wish him a speedy recovery. It was a personal visit.”
