After the report by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) was presented in Rajya Sabha which saw a huge uproar leading to the adjournment of the Upper House, Rahul Gandhi has continued his attacks over the Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking on the Prime Minister's claims of having signed a 'better Rafale Deal' than the one signed by UPA government have been 'demolished'.
The Congress president, quoting the report presented by 'The Hindu' tweeted, "the Prime Minister defended his personal RAFALE bypass deal on 2 counts: 1. Better Price 2. Faster Delivery. Both have been demolished by the revelations in the Hindu today".

The report pointed out that "three senior Defence Ministry officials who were the domain experts on the seven-member Indian Negotiating Team (INT) came to a well-substantiated and clear conclusion" that the "Modi government's new Rafale deal for 36 flyaway aircraft was not on 'better terms' than the offer made by Dassault Aviation during the procurement process for 126 aircraft under the UPA government". 

Rahul Gandhi is all set to address a press conference here on Wednesday at 3:30 pm later in the day.

Gandhi, earlier in the day, questioned Modi government's credibility citing unemployment, demonetization and the Rafale scam while addressing a CCP meeting.

In the meeting, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi also criticised the Modi government and said, "bluff, bluster and intimidation have been the governance philosophy of the Modi government". 

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted that Ms Gandhi also said "truth and transparency have been brazenly tossed aside".
