Let’s debate Rafale, Rahul dares PM Modi

Hyderabad, August 13 

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a debate on the Rafale jet deal with France, reiterating his graft charge against the government.

He said that he was ready for a debate with Modi at any place and time to prove that the government will get each Rafael jet for Rs 1,600 crore against the Rs 540 crore when the contract was signed during the earlier UPA rule.

He said Modi could not look him in the eye when he spoke in Parliament on the aircraft deal. “I spoke before the ‘chowkidar’ with a 56-inch chest. He was looking everywhere but towards me. A corrupt person when told about his theft can't see you in the eye,” Gandhi said. — IANS
