Rafale deal: Rahul Gandhi ignores Reliance's threat to sue with a jibe

New Delhi, Nov 16 (IBNS): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, who has grown popular for his tweets, on Thursday ignored Anil Ambani's Reliance's law sue threat over Rafale deal with a jibe at the company and also Prime Minster Narendra Modi.

The Congress has already alleged that Reliance has been picked as a partner to a French firm Dessault for "crony capitalism" in the Rafale jet fighter deal.

The principal opposition party, the Congress, even alleged that the company has led to an "insurmountable loss" to the public exchequer with the Rafale fighter jet deal where Dessault will provide 36 Rafale jets to the Indian Air Force.

Gandhi has put up a sarcastic tweet saying: "Can you explain "Reliance" on someone with nil experience in aerospace for Rafale deal?"


In a couple of follow up tweets, Gandhi left no opportunity to take a jibe at the central government and the Prime Minster.

"Self "Reliance" is obviously a critical aspect of "Make in India.," the Congress VP tweeted.


Taking a dig at PM Modi, Gandhi said: "Modi ji - nice touch removing the suit. What about the loot?"


Gandhi, after the Bhaatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in 2014, had once made a sarcastic remark about the PM for wearing suit in foreign tours, alleging the central government to favour the capitalists.
