Talking about the Rafale deal, he said, “the manufacturing was earlier promised to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) under the UPA government, but now it has been given to Ambani. I don’t understand on what ground it is given to Ambani.”
He also questioned the Modi government on why did they decrease the number of jets from 126 to 36. He promised that if Congress came into power, they will try to solve the issue and change the agreement if possible.
He commented on the Modi government saying that Modi as a Prime Minister believes in a centralized government, whereas the opposition leader Rahul Gandhi believes in a decentralized government.
