Rafale deal: BJP hits back at Rahul Gandhi with their ‘10-point lie’ tweet
Nirmala Sitharaman.
After the Congress president, Rahul Gandhi, went live with a report on Rafale deal in a news briefing, on Friday, and attacked Narendra Modi, the BJP hit back and call it a lie. The defence minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, slammed the Congress by saying, “They are flogging a dead horse … when periodically, PMO enquires about the progress of any work (it) cannot be construed as interference.”
The Bharatiya Janata Party, on its part, tweeted a “10-point lie versus fact” rejoinder to defend the Rafale deal, on Saturday.
Lie No.1: #LiarRahul tried to twist some report in a French media house to say making Reliance an offsets partner was a tradeoff for Dassault to get the deal with India.

Fact: Both Supreme Court & Dassault CEO said Indian govt had nothing to do with choosing of offsets partners. pic.twitter.com/C4vlTEFUAT
Lie No.2: #LiarRahul tried to create false impression that SC has found grave irregularities with the deal. Indulged in third grade level propaganda on a sub judice matter.
— BJP (@BJP4India) February 9, 2019
Fact: The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions filed by Congress proxies and held govt has done no wrong. pic.twitter.com/o70qaoyGEP

Lie No.4: #LiarRahul said ex-French President Hollande called PM Modi a thief and that Indian government had asked to include Reliance as offset partner.
— BJP (@BJP4India) February 9, 2019

Lie No.5: #LiarRahul lied even to Parliament and said he personally confirmed from French President Mr. Macron that there is no non disclosure clause.
— BJP (@BJP4India) February 9, 2019

Lie No.6: #LiarRahul quotes multiple numbers at multiple places for supposed price of aircraft in UPA deal
— BJP (@BJP4India) February 9, 2019
• Parliament, he said 520 crore
