Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale fighter aircraft agreement and asked the media why it didn't question him for allegedly changing the "entire deal" to benefit a businessman.


He also asked why no questions were posed to the prime minister on BJP president Amit Shah's son Jay, whose company the Congress alleged has witnessed a quantum jump in turnover since the Modi government came to power.


"You ask me so many questions and I answer all of them. I want to ask you, why don't you question Prime Minister Modi on the Rafale deal. Why don't you ask about Amit Shah's son?


"Why don't you question the prime minister who changed the entire Rafale deal to help a businessman?" he asked. He was speaking to reporters after the meeting of the newly formed All India Unorganised Workers Congress (AIUWC).


Gandhi expressed satisfaction over the formation of the AIUWC and said he felt good interacting with them. The Congress vice president told unorganised workers to work at the grassroots and ground level to bring change. Merely sitting and holding meetings would not help anymore.  -- PTI
