Amid the ongoing controversy over ‘Rafale Scam‘, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday, said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi “personally delivered deal worth billions of dollars to a bankrupt Anil Ambani.”
After French media quoted former French President saying the Indian government proposed Reliance company for the Rafale deal, Gandhi took to Twitter to attack PM Modi and said, “The PM has betrayed India. He has dishonoured the blood of our soldiers.”
The PM personally negotiated & changed the #Rafale deal behind closed doors. Thanks to François Hollande, we now know he personally delivered a deal worth billions of dollars to a bankrupt Anil Ambani.
The PM has betrayed India. He has dishonoured the blood of our soldiers.
