1. Mr Rahul Gandhi has lied to the nation eight times on the issue of the Rafael deal. By twisting facts and heaping a conspiracy Rahul Gandhi has played with the security of the country and tried to damage the nation for his narrow political gains.

 

1. Dassault Compnay’s CEO has given a statement exposing the baseless report that appeared in a French media group that was quoted by the Congress to malign the Indian Government. The lies spread by the Congress have been exposed once again before the nation.

 

1. The Congress has become issueless and that is why it is repeatedly spreading misinformation campaign on Rafael. Rahul Gandhi should know well that falsehood would not become truth even if you repeat a lie 100 times.

 

1. Rahul Gandhi and Congress are spreading falsehood even when they know the truth for the simple reason that they want to diver the attention and hide the role of middlemen played by the Gandhi family in various defence deals.

 

1. Till now Rahul Gandhi has not replied to question asked by the BJP on the relationship between Sanjay Bhandari, Robert Vadra and the Congress. Why is Rahul Gandhi not answering this crucial question?

 

1.  On the one hand the Congress is launching misinformation campaign one after the other, on the other hand its lies are getting simultaneously exposed. This has helped the Congress lose whatever credibility it had.

 

1. Rahul Gandhi’s list of lies has become so long that even ordinary people have started laughing at his statements. Rahul Gandhi should stop production at his “Lie-factory”. Rahul Gandhi is trying to damage the image the country.

 

1. Rahul Gandhi tried to twist even the ruling of the Supreme Court on the Rafael issue even as the topmost Court refused to intervene on the matter of pricing and suitability saying it was linked to the matter of the country’s security.

 

1. Rahul Gandhi tried to spread a lie quoting former French President  François Hollande which the latter denied and exposed Rahul Gandhi’s claims.

 

10. Rahul Gandhi while quoting the former French President made a serious allegation that Hollande used objectionable words while referring to Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. This was denied by the former French President leaving Rahul Gandhi red faced.

 

11.Rahul Gandhi is making a comparison between prices of a mere aircraft a fully loaded fighter aircraft. This is the same as comparing a seed with a full grown garden.

 

12.Rahul Gandhi said that the Government did not take into confidence the Cabinet Committee on Defence while ordering the Rafael deal. The truth is this has never happened and this is not even possible. The Government upholds all processes while entering into any such deal.
