CM At Congress; ‘Don’t Know Whether Rafale is Aircraft or Cycle’
Mumbai : Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis today open up on Congress regarding Rafale Deal by saying to that half of the party’s workers don’t even know if it is about an aircraft or a cycle.
“Congress president is making allegations when half of the Congress workers do not know whether Rafale is an aircraft or a cycle or a motorcycle,” Fadnavis said.
Fadnavis who was attending valedictory session of the BJP state unit in Bandra, said that Rahul Gandhi is making baseless allegations over Rafale Deal. He further said that they only want to create confusion. He also stated that their is no middle man involved in this deal. This is a fair deal between India and France.
Fadnavis further accused the Congress party of demanding public information on the Rafale deal when it itself had put up a clause of secrecy when it came to defence deal.
Along with Fadnavis, Ramdas Athawale too on Friday said that Congress is planning a camping against Rafale Deal but however it will not work and BJP will win more than 300 seats in the 2019 general elections.
He further added, “The Rafale issue is being blown out of proportion. Rahul Gandhi is making abusive statements about the Prime Minister. He has even called Modi Ji a thief. But if he wants to have people and leaders of other parties by his side, he has to desist from making such baseless allegations.”
The Maharashtra and Mumbai Congress units are doing a March against Modi for his resignation and Defence Minister Nirmal Sitharaman over the Rafale deal.
Congress prepared Life-size model of Rafale jets and chanted anti- Modi and anti-Sitharaman slogans while marching from Mahalaxmi Race Court to the iconic August Kranti Maidan in south Mumbai. The prominent leaders leading the procession were Mallikarjun Kharge, Ashok Chavan and Sanjay Nirupam.
