Rahul dares Modi to answer queries over Rafale


New Delhi, Jan 9 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "be a man" and answer queries raised by him over the Rafale fighter aircraft deal.

Respect for women in the Indian culture begins at home, he said hours after Modi hit out at opposition leaders accusing them of "insulting" Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the first woman to occupy the post, and said the opposition parties will have to pay a price for it. 

With all due respect Modi Ji, in our culture respect for women begins at home. Stop shaking. Be a man and answer my question: Did the Air Force and Defence Ministry object when you bypassed the original Rafale deal? Yes? Or No?," Gandhi tweeted. 

Addressing a public meeting in Agra, Modi had said that the country has seen how the opposition leaders tried to disrespect Nirmala Sitharaman in the Lok Sabha when she was exposing their bundles of lies bit by bit, referring to the debate in the Lok Sabha on the Rafale deal.

"They (opposition) were left so baffled that they are now bent on insulting a woman Defence Minister. This is not just an insult to the Defence Minister but an insult to women and women power in the country. Such irresponsible leaders will have to pay a price for it," Modi said.

    "Respect for women begins at home" very nicely said by Rahul. Modi first of all before making any statement must think twice. Has he given respect for his wife ???.

    If he had answers to the queries, he wouldn't have been too scared to participate in parliamentary debates, now as a last resort he's hiding behind Naari Shakti. Only unconditional devotion from his blind bhakths can save his skin now, after all, he's 11th Avtar for them!

    Although I don't have too much regard for the Congress party, I compliment and congratulate Rahul Gandhi for taking up the cudgels on behalf of the people of India and he certainly deserves our gratitude for that. Modi clearly is on the back foot and has his back to the wall. He is trying to evade Rahul's attack and is seeking help from all his chamchas and chamchis but Rahul is clearly gaining the upper hand. Modi is certainly on the run. Let the truth come out. It doesn't matter who wins. The victory of the country and its people is what matters. Nobody is above the country. The whole country is watching this duel and I sincerely hope truth prevails. If Modi has nothing to hide or fear, let him come out and say so. Keeping quiet and trying to run away will only make matters worse for him. Deviating from the subject too will not help him. Let him answer about Rafale instead of hiding behind Nirmala's pallu.

    Great tactic. The government hasnt given point by point answers to Rahuls question. His questions were yes or no, and govt has either attacked his family or diverted topic to other scams. Rahul needs to keep this pressure on until the BJP goofs up big time.
