Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a scathing attack on Narendra Modi over ongoing Rafale fighter-jet row and said that Prime Minister won't survive an inquiry.
Addressing to media, Rahul Gandhi said that Rafale is an open and shut case. "It is simply a PM Modi-Anil Ambani partnership."
He further claimed that if an inquiry starts over the deal, Modi will not survive it. "Guaranteed. One, because of corruption. Two, because it's very clear who the decision maker was. It was Narendra Modi and it was a deal done by Narendra Modi to give Anil Ambani Rs 30,000 Crore," Gandhi said.
Gandhi also alleged that Dassault Aviation paid Rs 284 crore to Reliance Defence as the first tranche of 'kickbacks'.
"Dassault CEO is protecting only one man who is running the country. The Dassault CEO had said the reason HAL wasn't given the contract was that Anil Ambani had land. Now it turns out that the land that Anil Ambani had was purchased by money given by Dassault," Gandhi said.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court asked the Centre to place before it in a sealed cover within 10 days the pricing details of 36 Rafale fighter jets India is buying from France.
"If pricing is something exclusive and you are not sharing it with us, please file an affidavit and say so," the bench told Attorney General KK Venugopal in its oral observations.
India signed an agreement with France for the purchase of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft in a fly-away condition as part of the upgrading process of the Indian Air Force equipment.
The Rafale fighter is a twin-engine Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) manufactured by French aerospace company Dassault Aviation.
