Karnataka: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a debate on the Rafale aircraft deal issue. The Congress has raised several questions on the Rafale deal, accusing the government of compromising with national interests.
“Let a debate happen between me and Narendra Modi on Rafael deal… I will speak at length for hours,” Gandhi said at “Jana Dwani” rally organised by the state Congress here in north Karnataka.
In a scathing attack on the Modi government, Gandhi said, “Chowkidar Hi Bhaagidar Hai. (This watchman is a collaborator),” and accused the modi of “stealing” taxpayers’ money and giving it to his “friend” whose firm he alleged had bagged a contract in the Rafale deal.
