The Congress on Tuesday alleged that a “huge scam is brewing” in the Rafael deal and accused the Modi government of “promoting the interests of Prime Minister’s crony capitalist friends.”

Addressing a press conference, Congress communications chief Randeep Surjewala said the government violated the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) and bypassed the interests of PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

“On April 10, Prime Minister Modi visits France and announces the deal for purchase of 36 Rafael fighter aicraft in flyaway condition. This was done unilaterally without following the DPP, without any inter-governmental agreement and in the absence of India’s Defence Minister. However, Anil Ambani, owner of Reliance Defence Limited was present in France during the Prime Minister's visit,” alleged Mr Surjewala.

The Congress leader claimed that while the UPA government had signed the Rafael deal as a joint venture between its French maker, Dassault Aviation, and India’s HAL, the current government cancelled the entire process on 30 July, 2015.

This in turn, helped Reliance Defence Limited as they entered into a joint venture with Dassault, he said.

Mr. Surjewala said while India signed the $8.7 billion deal on September 23 last year, just 10 days later, on October 3, 2016, Reliance Defence Limited entered into a joint venture with the French fighter plane maker.

“It is time for the PM to answer why the planes were bought at such an inflated costs? Is it not true that as per UPA negotiated price, cost of one plane was Rs. 526.1 crores where as under NDA, the plane is costing Rs. 1570 crores? Why was transfer of technology for HAL not insisted? And finally, has the joint venture between Dassault and Reliance Defence been cleared by the Union Cabinet?” asked the Congress leader.

When asked why the Congress was raising the issue now, especially since all the facts of the deal were in public domain, Mr. Surjewala said, “No, we had raised it then as well. Former Defence Minister A.K. Antony, Manish Tewari and myself had raised it outside as well in Parliament. We were told that nothing has been signed. The deal has been signed last September and since then we have trying to gather information.”

well i don't know much about your internal politics but still. do you really believe BJP is not corrupt? so What this BJP saints are doing against corrupt congress, shiv sena? isn't shiv sena corrupt? why they are allies with them in Mumbai? why Gandhis are still free and roaming like Kings and Princess. What about Lalu' of bihar, commies of Bengal and other corrupts according to your own ultra nationalist media, Where is your accountability bureau? you are all one for corruption, koi dusre per hath dalne ko tayyar nahi.

What about business sector, giants like Tata and others? they are not involved in corruption? they become multi billionaire without corruption? they don't have any relations with high command of BJP? What was the last time you accountability institution tried to audit their business?

As for Congress, well i don't want to defend them but they ruled you for 60 years, and kicked vajpayee out after 5 years. so i would be little hesitant to except that they are out.

if you say so..Pakistan is always good..

we are always fighting this menace, we never sit idle and accepted it as norm unlike your kind. Your last election was not on accountability agenda but Modi'ism and anti congress'ism bcoz you were fed up of 10 year congress rule, you will be fed up after their 10 years of rule and bring congress again.

& @punit
Humor (for) AlL has already got its hands full with orders of 83 LCA Mark 1 and probably won't complaint much about a deal for a platform they know they cannot produce in numbers and time-frame asrequired by IAF.
As for the original allegation by a party, @Taygibay i suggest you search H.E Rahul Gandhi (he happens to be party president in waiting) and his speeches. You'll probably forget about this guy afterwards
