On Monday, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said that he used to boast about his “56-inch chest” but the “hollowness” of his claims is now coming out in the open. “Everyday there are new revelations about RAFALE that make it clear that the PM helped his friend Anil Ambani, steal 30,000 Cr of your money”, tweeted the Congress chief.
The Congress Chief also alleged the Prime Minister of playing the 'middleman' for Anil Ambani and revealing the confidential details to the businessman.
“Now PM needs to answer how did Anil Ambani knew 10 days in advance of the Rafale deal. Defence minister, HAL, Foreign Secretary didn’t know but Anil Ambani knew. If this is true then PM is in violation of official secrets act,criminal action must be initiated on this basis”, said Rahul Gandhi targeting Narendra Modi.
On Monday, the Central government rejected the allegations of “conflict of interest” which was levied by the Congress party against CAG Rajiv Mehrishi over the audit agency proposed report on the Rafale deal. He was of the opinion that he never dealt with expenditure proposals from the Ministry of Defence as Finance Secretary.
The development has come a day after the Congress party accused Mehrishi of committing “gross impropriety” by auditing the Rafale deal saying that as the Finance Secretary he was involved in the deal announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in April 2015. “CAG report is a worthless report. I would term it as a ‘Chowkidar Auditor General Report”, said Rahul rubbishing the CAG reports.
