Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday made a fresh attack on the government over the Rafale fighter aircraft deal, prompting Union Minister Piyush Goyal to hit back saying he is welcome to fight the 2024 general elections on the issue.
In a tweet, Gandhi quoted a source-based news report which claimed that the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has submitted its performance audit on defence offset contracts to the government with no mention of any offset deals related to the purchase of Rafale aircraft.
“Money was stolen from the Indian exchequer in Rafale,” Gandhi alleged in his tweet without elaborating.
In his Twitter post, the former Congress president also quoted Mahatma Gandhi’s words: “Truth is one, paths are many”.
