Chowkidar of the country took money from all of us and put it in Anil Ambani's pocket: Rahul Gandhi attacks

New Delhi, Sept 25 (IBNS): Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale deal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the Indian leader has taken Rs 30,000 crore from the pockets of soldiers and martyrs and put it in the pocket of businessman Anil Ambani.

In his latest episode of targeting the Indian PM, Gandhi said: "The chowkidar of this country took Rs 30,000 crore from the pockets of soldiers & martyrs & put it in the pocket of Anil Ambani."

Upping the ante against the Congress over the Rafale controversy, Indian Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said she will launch a nationwide campaign "to fight the perception battle", media reports said.

Sitharaman said she will hold several press conferences to fight the battle.

She has been quoted by  NDTV as saying, "We need to fight the perception battle. Many of us will be speaking across the country. Facts have to come out."

The riling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress are having a face-off over the Rafale deal (buying of 36 fighter jets by India) ever since former French President Francois Hollande said India had urged France to nominate Indian industrialist Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence Industries as its partner in the Rafale deal.
