Watch Rahul Gandhi accuse Modi govt of lying to the nation

Congress president Rahul Gandhi today launched a frontal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over Rafale deal with France. Rahul Gandhi said that Nirmala Sitharaman has "spoken untruth" about Rafale deal.

Rahul Gandhi said Nirmala Sitharaman first said that she would reveal the price of each unit of Rafale jet fighter. But later on, she declined to share the details citing "secrecy clause" in the agreement with France.

He said, "I met the President of France. I asked him about the secrecy clause and he denied that any such clause exists in the agreement. He told me so and I don't have any objection if you tell this to everyone in the country. Under pressure from the prime minister, Nirmala Sitharaman told lie to the nation."

Who is being benefitted, asked Rahul Gandhi adding, "The Defence Minister spoke untruth."
