Times of AthibAn Sunday, July 04, 2021 0

The BJP has accused the Congress of trying to weaken the country by continuing to make allegations over the Rafael fighter aircraft deal.

In September 2016, the federal government signed an agreement with France's Dassault Aviation to buy 36 Rafael fighter aircraft at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore. 21 of them have arrived in India.

According to France media reports, Dassault Aviation has offered a brokerage fee of around Rs 8 crore to an Indian company which acted as an intermediary to secure the Raphael Bo air deal.

There have been recent reports in the France media that the France government has appointed a judge to look into allegations of corruption in the Rafael fighter aircraft deal.

Congress has repeatedly accused the deal of corruption. In connection with this matter, the Congress has stated that the truth will come out only if a joint parliamentary inquiry is held.

In this context, BJP spokesperson Sambit Bhadra told reporters in Delhi on Saturday that the judge had been appointed to look into the complaint lodged in France by an NGO in connection with the ‘Raphael Bo air deal’. This should not be taken as corruption in the contract.

No corruption: Congress continues to spread rumors among the people about the Rafael fighter aircraft deal. Other rival companies are using Rahul Gandhi's misinformation to their advantage and inciting corruption allegations against the deal. Rahul is acting as the representative of those companies.

The Congress party has been making false allegations of corruption as it has not benefited from the deal. Through this, the party is trying to weaken the country.

The auditor general's report made it clear that there was no corruption in the Rafael fighter aircraft deal. The Supreme Court fire also confirmed that corruption had not taken place. The Supreme Court has dismissed the petitions filed against the agreement.

Apologize: The Congress campaigned during the last Lok Sabha polls in 2019 that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was corrupt in the Raphael Bo air deal.

But the people did not accept the false allegations of the Congress party. The BJP then ruled with a simple majority. Rahul Gandhi has leveled various allegations against Prime Minister Modi in this regard. Ava should apologize to the Supreme Court for that.

Political instability is seen in the Congress-led regimes in Punjab, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The Congress has taken up the issue of the Raphael Bo air deal with the aim of diverting the people from it. '
