Rahul Gandhi dubs Comptroller and Auditor general report on the Rafale deal as the ‘Chokidaar General Report’
He severely condemned the report of the Comptroller and Auditor general on the Rafale deal and termed it as the Chokidaar General Report. AG report is a worthless report. I would term it as a ‘Chowkidar Auditor General Report’. It is Narendra Modi’s report, written for the Chowkidar, on behalf of the Chowkidar, for the Chowkidar by the Chowkidar.

Congress President lashed out at Anil Ambani saying that there is a email which has surfaced in the public domain clearly indicating that Anil Ambani was in touch with the French defence minister ten days before the deal was finalized. He said that an Airbus executive wrote that Mr.Anil Ambani met the French Defence Minister and told him 10 days before the Rafale deal was signed that he was going to get it. It clearly pointed out that there were parallel negotiations going on by the PMO, other than the one by the Ministry of Defence.
