'Bigger Than Bofors' Or 'Reprocessed Lies': The Rafale Controversy
In a stinging indictment of the government, two former BJP ministers, Arun Shourie and Yashwant Sinha today hit out at the Rs 58,000 crore deal with France for 36 Rafale fighters which was signed in 2016. Along with lawyer and Swaraj Abhiyan leader Prashant Bhushan, the three termed the the entire transaction "a textbook case of criminal misconduct". Finance Minister Arun Jaitley hit back saying "unsubstantiated allegations against the Government constitute nothing but reprocessed lies by forces increasingly desperate to prove their relevance". On Trending @ 10, we look at the Rafale controversy - the allegations and the counterpoints. Yashwant Sinha also joins the show.
