New Delhi: The Congress and the BJP continued to exchange barbs over the Rafale aircraft deal on Thursday with Rahul Gandhi accusing the Prime Minister of allegedly changing the “entire deal” to benefit a businessman, a charge debunked by the ruling party.
The Congress vice-president also asked why no questions were put to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on BJP president Amit Shah’s son Jay, whose company his party alleged has witnessed a quantum jump in turnover since the Modi government came to power.
“You ask me so many questions and I answer all of them. I want to ask you, why don’t you question Prime Minister Modi on the Rafale deal. Why don't you ask about Amit Shah's son? Why don’t you question the prime minister who changed the entire Rafale deal to help a businessman?” he asked.
Mr Gandhi said the Prime Minister should explain the “Reliance” on someone with nil experience in aerospace for the Rafale deal. “Self ‘Reliance’ is obviously a critical aspect of ‘Make in India’,” Gandhi added in a series of tweets on the Reliance Rafale deal.
