Ahead of Makar Sankranti, Rajasthan Cong distributes kites with questions on Rafale printed on them

Jaipur, Jan 13 (IBNS): Launching a new attack on the Narendra Modi government, the Congress party ahead of the Makar Sankranti, is distributing kites with four questions regarding Rafale deal printed on them, media reports said.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi had asked four questions from PM Narendra Modi on Twitter.

He had tweeted: "Tomorrow, the PM faces an Open Book #RafaleDeal Exam in Parliament.

Here are the exam questions in advance:

Q1. Why 36 aircraft, instead of the 126 the IAF needed?

Q2. Why 1,600 Cr instead of 560 Cr per aircraft.

Q4. Why AA instead of HAL?

Will he show up? Or send a proxy?"

Rahul's Rafale allegations:

The Congress president alleged that Modi bypassed the Rafale deal and gave the offset contract to his businessman friend Anil Ambani to benefit the latter.

Though the Supreme Court had said that specific process was being followed in signing the deal, the main rival party has made Rafale an election issue to attack the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
