Is Agusta no more corrupt? Rahul on ban lift reports

The Congress on Monday questioned the government move to lift the procurement ban on the parent company of Agusta Westland and asked how the firm, the BJP first earlier called corrupt, had suddenly found favours with the ruling dispensation.

“Agusta was corrupt at first, but stands clean after being washed up in the BJP laundry,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a jibe at the government, with the party reminding the BJP that PM Narendra Modi had called AgustaWestland corrupt in the past.
