Tax payers will pay Rs 1 lakh crore to 'Mr 56's friend' for Rafale deal
NEW DELHI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday stepped up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the tax payers would have to pay Rs 1 lakh crore over the next 50 years to "Mr 56's friend" for maintaining the 36 Rafale aircrafts that the country was buying
Congress chief attached an investor presentation of Reliance Infrastructure, saying there was "truth" in it, which would soon be denied "as usual" by defense minister Nirmala Sitharaman in a press conference
The Congress has been attacking the BJP government over the Rafale deal, alleging favouritism in granting the offset contract to Reliance Defence in violation of the rules. It had accused Modi and Sitharaman of "lying" to the nation on the issue.
The party had described the deal as the "biggest example" of crony capitalism and alleged that national interest was compromised
Gandhi has been taking a swipe at Modi using the "56-inch-chest" remark that the latter had made at election rallies in the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections
