Rafale Deal  

In its verdict today, the Supreme Court gave its stamp of approval on the Rafale deal, but more importantly said that the perception of individuals cannot be the basis of a fishing and roving enquiry by the Court

The Supreme Court will announce its verdict on the entry of women in the Sabarimala temple. The top court will also review its judgment into the alleged irregularities in the Rafale jet procurement case. That apart, the apex court will decide upon the case against Rahul Gandhi for his “Chowkidar chor hai’ comment. 
 

When actor-politician Divya Spandana aka Ramya rose to the position of social media head of the Congress party, there were rumours of her getting close to then AICC president Rahul Gandhi. But now there is news that Ramya is entering into wedlock with her Portugese boyfriend Raphael. JustForLaughs on MyNation finds out the link between Raphael and Rafale.

Facing a dipping number of fighter jets in India, PM Modi signed an SOS deal. In 2016, an inter-governmental deal was signed with France to purchase "ready-made" 36 Rafale aircraft from Dassault aviation. 
 

While the Congress chief’s last affidavit had political overtones over the Rafale deal, his latest affidavit of “unconditional apology” has no mention of Rafale or PM Modi.

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi said in an interview, "There is absolutely no apology to PM Narendra Modi. I made a genuine mistake that I said the Supreme Court said it. I am not apologising to the least for saying Chowkidar chor hai.”

As per the Reliance group Rahul Gandhi's own government gave contracts worth Rs 1 lakh crore to them between 2004-2014.

It is too late for Congress to realise that in this day and age of knowledge the lies are only hurting their own credibility, which is any way at an all-time low and nobody is getting fooled by this. If the estimates from the first four phases of Lok Sabha elections are to go by, the people of India have rejected Rahul Gandhi and his lie factory.

Recently, when the apex court admitted a controversial newspaper report as permissible evidence in the case of the Rafale deal, Gandhi touted the decision as a vindication of his contention that Prime Minister Narendra Modi "stole the money of the Air Force and gifted it to Anil Ambani".
 

Ministry of Defence and Reliance group were quick to issue rebuttals on the allegations saying connections drawn between the tax issue and the Rafale matter are inaccurate.

In December, the apex court had rejected the petition that accused the government of deliberately procuring 36 Rafale fighter jets at an inflated price to help Anil Ambani’s newly formed defence firm get an offset contract with jet-maker Dassault Aviation.

There has to be a reason for the government and the Indian Air Force's impatience with the HAL. The real problem for the HAL has been its declining efficiency and repeated failure to meet deadlines.
 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said about the allegation of corruption in the Rafale deal, ‘They cannot imagine that a defence deal can be struck with transparency and without corruption.’ Earlier, the Prime Minister had said the Congress sat on the Rafale papers in the hope they would get some ‘malai’ (kickbacks) from it.
