Anil Ambani Dassault

Anil Ambani's Reliance Group in a strongly worded statement has criticised Congress chief Rahul Gandhi for accusing the industrialist of being a "crony capitalist and dishonest businessman", and pointed out that the conglomerate received projects worth Rs 1 lakh crore when the UPA was in power for 10 years.

France waived taxes worth 143.7 million euros to a French-registered telecom subsidiary of Anil Ambani's Reliance Communications in 2015, months after India's announcement of buying 36 Rafale jets, French newspaper Le Monde reported today.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "acting as Anil Ambani's middleman", Rahul Gandhi said today in his latest allegation linked to the Rafale controversy, citing an email that he said revealed the industrialist had visited Paris and met with the French Defence Minister, 10 days before the PM went there and announced the 36-jet deal with France.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who is currently holidaying in Goa, alleged today that the audio recordings referring to Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in possession of files related to Rafale jet deal were authentic and that Mr Parrikar was using the "explosive secrets" as a bargaining chip to retain his seat.

Rahul Gandhi stood by his controversial remarks earlier this week targeting Defence Minister and Prime Miister Narendra Modi on the Rafale deal. The Congress president said he would have made similar comments had a man been there in place of Ms Sitharaman.

Rahul Gandhi declared today that he would not let Prime Minister Narendra Modi "sleep or rest" till he gave a reprieve to farmers, holding up as an example his party's new governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, which he said have announced farm loan waivers within six hours.

A big political storm is brewing over the Supreme Court's verdict on the Rafale fighter jet deal. The Congress says the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee has not seen the report by the government's auditor or Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on the pricing of the 36 Rafale jets to be purchased from France's Dassault Aviation, which was r...

BJP president Amit Shah today claimed that the top court's verdict has only served to vindicate the Union government's stand that there was no corruption or nepotism in the case. He also demanded that Congress chief Rahul Gandhiapologise to the nationfor raising "childish allegations" against the Narendra Modi government, and disclose his source of...

As the government demanded Rahul Gandhi's apology today after the Supreme Court rejected a probe into the Rafale jet deal saying it found "no substantial evidence of any commercial favouritism," the Congress leadership said that the court ruling is "not a setback at all".

There is no reason to doubt the decision-making process behind the Rafale jet deal, the Supreme Court said today in massive validation for the government, which has been repeatedly accused by the Congress of corruption in the Rs 59,000-crore deal for 36 jets. Petitions alleging that the government had gone for an overpriced deal to help Anil Ambani...

An investigation is not needed into the deal for 36 Rafale fighter jets, which is at the heart of a huge government-opposition row, the Supreme Court said today, dismissing petitions. The government had opposed it, questioning the court's expertise to review the Rs. 59,000-crore deal for 36 planes with French firm Dassault. The court has said the p...

A French NGO that fights "economic crimes" has filed a complaint with their country's Financial Prosecutor's Office, seeking clarification on the conditions under which the deal for 36 Rafale fighter jets was signed with India as well as the choice of Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence as an offset partner by Dassault Aviation, the makers of the jet.

The casualties faced by the Indian armed forces in the Kargil war would have been far less if the country had Rafale fighter jets back then, the centre told the Supreme Court on Wednesday. However, its impassioned justification of the nation's need to acquire the aircraft from France failed to impress the bench, which pointed out that Attorney Gene...

Diving into the political back-and-forth in India over the Rafale jet deal, French plane-maker Dassault today put out a detailed rebuttal of Rahul Gandhi's allegations of "lies" and corruption in its tie-up with companies in Anil Ambani's Reliance Group for offset contracts.
