Earlier, Rahul had unveiled a scathing attack where raised the Rafale Deal demanding explanation of PM Modi on why he allegedly favoured a particular businessman in the contract. Stating that "everybody" across the country knows that the particular businessman and certain business people are very close to Modi, Gandhi stressed that the country knows where the marketing spends of Modi is coming from. Rahul didn't spare Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman either and accused her of speaking "untruth".
'The French prime minister has personally told me that there is no secret pact between the Indian and the French governments," he said demanding that the Prime Minister must answer why this contract was given to a particular businessman after taking it away from the Hindustan Aeronautical Ltd (HAL).
"Everybody understands the relationship the prime minister has with certain people. Everybody understands the amount of money that goes into the marketing of the prime minister and everybody knows who have funded that. One of those people was given the Rafale contract.. The gentleman benefited to the tune of Rs 45,000 crore," Rahul made serious allegations in the house.
