Congress President Rahul Gandhi today called PM Modi a thief. Talking about the former French President Hollande’s statement that it was India which proposed Anil Ambani’s Reliance, for Rafale deal, Rahul Gandhi demanded that the PM must answer this.
But Dussault the company dealing with the Rafale fighter planes said that it was their choice to deal with the Reliance. It may be noted that the defence Minister Nirmala Seetharaman also could not make a statement over the issue. Rahul opined that both the PM and Defense Minister were dodging over the matter from time to time.
Rahul said that there was no experience for Anils company in dealing with the Rafales. This involves the security of the country and how can Reliance be given such project who are new to the defence sector he questioned. He blamed PM Modi for bailing out ANil from his debts and selling the country to Reliance. Rahul opined that the PM Modi was directly involved in the deal and that Modi must answer to the Nation as what was happening with the Rafale deal.
The French Government, on the other hand, said that they have got nothing to do with the Indian partner and Dassault siad that it was their choice to deal with the Reliance company.
