Sources from New Delhi stated that Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said he understands the pain of Jawans, Air Force officers and families of martyred pilots as well as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) workers and will work to bring to justice all those who dishonored and stole from them.
Meanwhile Gandhi addressed them all on Twitter in his apparent attack against the Narendra Modi government on the issue of the Rafale fighter jet deal. Accordingly Gandhi has been attacking the government on the Rafale deal, accusing the Modi government and the Prime Minister of putting money into the pockets of his "crony" friends. Earlier on Monday, he said the country's "chowkidar" Modi snatched money away from the poor and handed it over to industrialist Anil Ambani. Gandhi also asked the Prime Minister for answers on several issues relating to the Rafale jet fighter deal.
Gandhi said at a meeting in the Jais area of
his Lok Sabha constituency "The chowkidar of the country has taken out Rs
20,000 crore from the pockets of the poor, martyrs and the jawans and put it in
the pocket of (Anil) Ambani and HAL which has been in the business for 70
years, makes aircraft while Anil Ambani had not made an aircraft in his life
and also has an outstanding bank loan of Rs 45,000 crore”.
