Rahul Gandhi has reacted sharply to former France President Francois Hollande's Friday statement regarding the Rafale deal between India and France. This is what Hollande had said: "We did not have a say in choosing Reliance as offset partner. The Indian government proposed this service group and Dassault negotiated with the Anil Ambani group. We did not have a choice, we took the partner who was given to us."

Following this, allegations of crony capitalism have been thrown at Narendra Modi's doorsteps. In a sharp reaction, Rahul Gandhi said, "The PM personally negotiated & changed the #Rafale deal behind closed doors. Thanks to François Hollande, we now know he personally delivered a deal worth billions of dollars to a bankrupt Anil Ambani. The PM has betrayed India. He has dishonoured the blood of our soldiers."

On Saturday, the Congress President once again trained guns on the PM. "The PM and Anil Ambani jointly carried out a One Hundred & Thirty Thousand Crore, SURGICAL STRIKE on the Indian Defence forces. Modi Ji you dishonoured the blood of our martyred soldiers. Shame on you. You betrayed India's soul," he tweeted out.
