Congress President Rahul Gandhi is in no mood to let go of Rafale deal as he once again targetted Narendra Modi's govt over the alleged scam. H said that Narendra Modi and Anil Ambani jointly carried out a "surgical strike" on the defence forces.
His renewed attack on Modi came a day after a French media report quoted former French president Francois Hollande as purportedly saying that the Indian government proposed Ambani's Reliance Defence as the partner for Dassault Aviation in the Rs 58,000 crore Rafale jet fighter deal and France did not have a choice.
