Congress playing with national security with Rafale charges: Rajnath

  •   Sat, Oct 27 2018 09:04:01 PM

Hyderabad, Oct 27 (IANS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday slammed the Congress, saying that the party was playing with national security by levelling false allegations about the Rafale deal.

Defending the deal, Singh said that the agreement with the French defence manufacturer Dassault would give India battle-ready fighter planes.

He was addressing the national convention of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), which began here on Saturday.

The BJP leader told the delegates here that the Congress party thought that if a lie was uttered 100 times, people would start believing it. He said that by raising questions about Rafale, the opposition party may be willingly or unwillingly helping the country's enemies.

"The Congress thinks that if it makes noises and misleads the people, the BJP's seats(in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures) will go down. However, every time they make a hue and cry, our numbers only go up," he said.

Singh exhorted the BJP's youth wing to work hard so that the party could win 350 seats in the next year's general election.

Several Union Ministers and Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states will be addressing the BJYM convention, being held with the theme "Vijay Lakshya 2019".

Singh alleged that all other political parties were growing nervous about the strength of the BJP and hence they were coming together to unitedly fight the elections. "They have no agenda linked to national interest. Their only agenda is 'Modi roko'," he said.

He cautioned the regional parties against joining hands with the Congress. He said that those who joined hands with the Congress were eliminated.

Singh claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government had made the country safer. The country has not seen any major terror incident in the last four-and-a-half years of BJP's rule.

Naxalism was eliminated from more than 50 per cent of the area while over 80 per cent of insurgency in the northeast was wiped out, he claimed.

BJYM National President and Lok Sabha MP Poonam Mahajan said the youth wing would play a key role in the next year's general elections.

    BJP seeks to stifle the demand for transparency by invoking national security. BJP has now added CBI to the long list of Indian institutions it has undermined in the ruthless quest for power.

    Congress ruled 65 years just before BJP came to power. Why a party which ruled for for 65 years and which made INDIA a nuclear and military power will play with national security. you go any part of the globe and when u say that you are Indian people treat u with respect., The credit must go to Congress party for their vision.

    I feel Congress is not playing politics on the efficacy of the aircraft purchased. It is questioning, on behalf of the citizens, about the anomaly in the commercial aspect such as price of aircraft and offset deal of the Rafale Deal. It is the taxpayers' money. The government should be transparent in the deal.

    Congress will not play. Why can’t you be transparent? Just give the explanation to the nation or justify your stand. Why are afraid? What stops you from giving explanation? Is it because of you want to help someone in return you get the benefit for the party as the election is nearing? I guess your ship is started sinking????

    Like BJP played with 'Bofors', Rafale jet scam haunting the party.

    Unlike 'Rafale', Bofors purchased during the tenure of Rajiv Gandhi proved success in 'Kargil war'. It was a superior gun that saves then PM Vajpayee hitting hard Pakistani side more than 40 Kms in enemy territory with more than 3000 casualties.

    But 'Rafale' which purchased by UPA with 126 orders, is downgraded to 36 in flyaway condition from Dassult facility ignoring the capabilities of our public sector HAL is not 'national security' for the Home minister Rajnath Singh?
    When the nation facing two front challenge downsizing the battalion from 36 aircraft is a real threat to the nation.
    1. If BJP and Home Minister Rajanath Singh is a real patriot who swears 'Bharat Mata', why the party is hesitating to disclose the price which Defence Minister agreed twice in the Parliament?
    2. How does Reliance Anil Ambani is part of Prime Minister Modi delegation know beforehand about the defense dealings?
    3. How does Reliance less than 15 days old company be able to qualify against more than 70 years old company which is the pride of India from the days the Mysore Kingdom?
    4. The nation wanted to know Rs 500 crores jet in previous negotiations is costing Rs 1700 per piece with reducing the fleet size?
    5. Will Supreme Court 'Closed Envelope' service like Indian postal service will reveal the truth or envelope will shut the case?
    Jai Hind
