Rafale row: French portal Mediapart’s revelations trigger Cong-BJP slugfest
A day after French investigative journal Mediapart made fresh claims that the Rafale manufacturer paid €7.5 million to a middleman between 2007 to 2012, a slugfest broke about between Congress and BJP, with both parties taking potshots at each other over the fresh revelations.
Referring to the claims, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asked his party colleagues not to be afraid of fighting against the “corrupt” central government as truth was with them in every step.
Gandhi tweeted in Hindi, “When the truth is with you in every step, then what is there to worry about? My Congress colleagues – keep fighting like this against the corrupt central government. Don’t stop, don’t get tired, don’t be afraid,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, using the hashtag “#RafaleScam”.
